The default system software for the XO laptop includes child-friendly Activities, the Sugar user interface, and many other [[software components]] built on top of a modified Fedora Linux kernel. |
|||
This page enumerates some of them, the [[#Application environment diagram|diagram below]] shows how they fit together. |
|||
'''Note:''' [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org Sugar Labs] and the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OLPC Fedora-OLPC] special interest group have assumed most of the development of the Sugar learning platform. See those links and [[Future releases]] for more information. |
|||
Almost all the software is free/open source that users can inspect and modify. |
|||
Alternatively, versions of Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, and other [[:Category:Linux distributions|Linux distributions]] have been developed that run cleanly on the XO. |
|||
* For activities, collections, and other software that you can download to your XO, see '''[[Activities]]''' |

|||
This is a very incomplete list. You can consult an [[OS images|image]]'s build log (for example the [http://pilgrim.laptop.org/~pilgrim/olpc/streams/8.2/build767/devel_ext3/ log for build 767]) to see what packages it incorporates, or run [[rpm]] commands on an XO. |

===Ambiente de uso=== |
|||
* [[Sugar]] graphical user interface, written in Python, on top of the X Window System and the Matchbox Window Manager. |

==== Ambientes de uso alternativos ==== |
|||
* [[WindowMaker_Interface]] An interface that has been around in Linux for many years. It runs on top on the X Windows system and was written in C++. WindowMaker is more of a standard laptop interface than you would see on any laptop. This interface is still in its infancy in the OLPC Laptop and Needs a lot of new community documentation and testing before it is used in class rooms. The only drawback for WindowMaker on the OLPC is that there is a bug in scrolling and refresh rate of the screen. |
|||
* [[OpenBox]] A very small compact window manager written in C++. If you are looking into changing from Sugar to a more conventional windows manager this is the one you should use. It's fast, efficient and displays windows nicely. Works very well with abiword, firefox and gnome-terminal. |
|||
* [[Xfce]] is a lightweight but powerful desktop environment that will work well on the XO. It aims to be fast and lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to use. Xfce is mainly used for its ability to run a modern desktop environment on relatively modest hardware, and therefor an excellent choice for the OLPC. It is based on the GTK+ 2 toolkit (as is GNOME). It uses the Xfwm window manager. Its configuration is entirely mouse-driven, and the configuration files are hidden from the casual user. |
|||
You can also run a completely different Linux distribution on the XO, see [[:Category:Linux distributions]]. |
|||
==Aplicaciones== |
|||
There are three types of applications distributed with the base system: tools for exploring, expressing, and collaborating. Applications that have been (or are being) built for the laptop are called '''activities''' and the [[Activities]] page has a list of them.. |

Esta página ennumera algunos de estos, el diagrama muestra cómo encajan juntos. Nota: El grupo especial de interés Sugar Labs y Fedora-OLPC se ha encargado de la mayoría del desarrollo de la plataforma de aprendizaje Sugar, para mayor información, vea los links y los Futuros lanzamientos Casi la mayoría del software es gratuito/open source y puede ser inspeccionado y modificado por el usuario.

The default system software for the XO laptop includes child-friendly Activities, the Sugar user interface, and many other software components built on top of a modified Fedora Linux kernel. This page enumerates some of them, the diagram below shows how they fit together.
Note: Sugar Labs and the Fedora-OLPC special interest group have assumed most of the development of the Sugar learning platform. See those links and Future releases for more information.
Almost all the software is free/open source that users can inspect and modify.
Alternatively, versions of Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, and other Linux distributions have been developed that run cleanly on the XO.
- For activities, collections, and other software that you can download to your XO, see Activities

Ambientes de uso alternativos
- WindowMaker_Interface An interface that has been around in Linux for many years. It runs on top on the X Windows system and was written in C++. WindowMaker is more of a standard laptop interface than you would see on any laptop. This interface is still in its infancy in the OLPC Laptop and Needs a lot of new community documentation and testing before it is used in class rooms. The only drawback for WindowMaker on the OLPC is that there is a bug in scrolling and refresh rate of the screen.

You can also run a completely different Linux distribution on the XO, see Category:Linux distributions.
Aplicaciones
There are three types of applications distributed with the base system: tools for exploring, expressing, and collaborating. Applications that have been (or are being) built for the laptop are called activities and the Activities page has a list of them..

OLPC regularly compiles and assembles "builds" of the OLPC software listed here for development. This process creates software images to which XO users can upgrade their XO, and OS "images" of the bundled software that users on other computers can download and run by Emulating the XO.
These builds progress towards various official releases of the OLPC software. See Releases for the high-level schedule of releases.
