It has a command-line interface and supports linux.  But I failed to install it since it requires kernel headers.  I don't think XO comes with linux src (can you verify that?  I am simply saying that since /usr/src/ is empty) nor gcc (is it possible to install gnu toolchain on XO?).

The important thing to know is that the core of the XO is Fedora 7 for the present time, but not necessarily everything for Fedora may work with the Sugar window manager :).

Wow, I found a couple of vpn client for fedora core.  I will try that and report back if it works.
As usual, thank you for your kindly help.
