OLPC and others are developing a new Fedora based operating system for both the XO-1. It includes various improvements and modernizations over the previous released version for the XO-1 hardware used many deployments and donors.
See draft 10.1.2 release notes for work completed so far.
OLPC will usually not sign the build images until they are ready for release as stable builds. Until then, installation requires an unlocked laptop and the instructions below.
