Software components

Introduction

This page defines the software environment that will be installed on the OLPC and which application software developers can use. While it is possible for an application developer to add additional software components and libraries, this is not a decision to be taken lightly. The OLPC is constrained by limited memory and storage which means that adding too many frills and features can have a significant negative impact on your own application as well as other applications running on the OLPC.
