Installing Ubuntu On an OLPC XO

Posted by Soulskill on from the call-me-when-it-runs-quake dept.

Matt Lincoln Russell writes "Installing Ubuntu Netbook Remix on the OLPC XO is not for the faint of heart, but Drew Beckett has got the process down. This setup is pretty slow on the XO, but the good news is that Netbook Remix is a work in progress, and can be expected to get better."

      My name is Mike Abacha, I am the son of former Nigerian President Sana Abacha. I will send you $1M (ONE MILLION) US dollars if you send me your AMD64 machine with Gentoo.

      This guy is totally legit, I sent him my PC last week and... *clicks refresh on UPS site a few more times* Ahah! He just got the package.

      Any moment now the escrow service he recommended will wire me the funds.

    ..when will the one-iPhone-per-middle-class-white-man campaign start?! I can't bear the view of those still not having one :(

    Actually, I'm jealous, I'd really like to have an OLPC =)
