**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)

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.

platform purpose recommendation
Ubuntu play & development xo disk images on qemu. See Emulating the XO/Quick Start.
Ubuntu 32-bit core development Sugar with sugar-jhbuild and Sugar on Ubuntu Linux
Fedora play & development xo disk images on qemu. See Emulating the XO/Quick Start. Perhaps also on VirtualBox?
Fedora 32-bit core development Sugar with sugar-jhbuild and Category:Installing_Sugar
Gentoo 32-bit core development Sugar with sugar-jhbuild in F7 on qemu. Or Sugar on Gentoo Linux (more invasive, less stable).
Other linux & FreeBSD play & development xo disk images on qemu. See Emulating the XO/Quick Start. Perhaps also on VirtualBox?
Windows play & development emulated xo disk image, on VirtualBox, VMWare, or QEMU on Windows.
Mac play & development emulated xo disk image, on qemu or VMWare. See Emulating the XO/Quick Start/Mac. Perhaps also VirtualBox? See also /Mac.
Mac with VMWare fusion core development Fedora 7 in VMWare and Sugar with sugar-jhbuild, sound and networking work. See /Mac
Mac with Parallels play emulated xo disk image, networking works after manually "dhclient eth0", sound does not work (Build 593).
Mac with Parallels core development run Ubuntu 32-bit, and Sugar on Ubuntu Linux. See /Mac. F7 may be better - see below

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? 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. Bert 08:33, 25 September 2007 (EDT)
  • QEMU or VirtualBox or VMWare?
