We plan to coordinate with NZ on testing http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_New_Zealand/Test_Requests

Who's got what

Bring your laptop below the testing group. If you don't have an XO laptop, you can emulate the current build of the OLPC environment — Fedora 9 + Sugar + core activities — on your existing computer by running a Live CD or running one of our OS images under emulation.
