Several efforts are underway to create live CD emulating the XO.
Current efforts
Rohrmoser Engineering LiveCD
This XO-LiveCD is created from Redhat OLPC development builds which are available from RedHat. Ready to use Live-CD ISO images are available here.
XUbuntu Gutsy LiveCD
A XUbuntu LiveCD with the Sugar Ubuntu package (with installation capability and launch-from-USB-key). Allows you to run Sugar directly on the hardware with an XUbuntu environment as well.
Pilgrim Fedora LiveCD
A Fedora Pilgrim LiveCD with the official image pre-downloaded and configured to run in Qemu with KQemu. Allows you to run the image from the standard Fedora desktop inside an emulator.
LiveBackup LiveCDs
- Maintainers: Wolfgang Rohrmoser and Kurt Gramlich
- Downloads: XO-LiveCD and FTP
- Description: LiveBackup based version of an official OLPC image
These LiveCDs allow you to convert a "regular" machine into a Sugar-running machine without touching the hard disk of the machine. This allows you to play with and test how the software runs with your hardware. It also lets you demonstrate and potentially test your software (at full speed).
It is also possible to use this type of LiveCD to create a "virtual Sugar lab" for a school, where a traditional computer lab's computers are booted into a Sugar environment, storing their data on a networked or other storage device, without changing the lab's installed software.
OLPC XO-1 Live CD - obsolete
The LiveCD has not been updated since early April 2007. Much which now works, was not even started back then.
