This page attempts to collect user experiences in running emulated OLPC-XO images (or sugar-jhbuild environments) on various host Operating Systems with various emulation packages. It is intended to serve as a guide for those looking to set up their own Development Environment. |

Discussion: |

*Is F7 better than Ubuntu for sugar-jhbuild? If so, should the Mac Parallels recommendation for core development be F7 rather than Ubuntu, despite the latter having a track record in [[/Mac]]? [[User:MitchellNCharity|MitchellNCharity]] 10:33, 20 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
**Yes, you will have less problems with Fedora 7, once you get it working in Parallels (which is harder than Ubuntu I think). I am running F7 because I need to be able to build RPMs. [[User:Bert|Bert]] 08:33, 25 September 2007 (EDT) |
