Developer Images

Developer Images (Quickstart Images)

Developer images are intended to provide a development environment in which you can immediately begin developing Sugar activities (applications). They are full Gnome desktops with Sugar pre-built which can be downloaded and run on Linux or Win32 machines using the free (0 cost, proprietary) VMWare Player application.

Note: The images have far more software than the OLPC XO Laptops, so you need to be careful not to rely on libraries in the image!

At the moment the images are available via BitTorrent on the LinuxTracker site (they will be made available directly from OLPC in the future). Eventually the images will be converted to use Fedora Core as their base operating system, but at the moment they are based on the Gentoo system.
