F11/rawhide.

Is this statement meant to be equivalent to "this is the latest F11
beta"?

Soas does not, nor does
http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/f11-beta/ .  I can't speak for
the intentions of either "distro"s in the future.

Please recall Soas is targeted at more than XOs...I would assume that
the OLPC distro is more likely to include XO-specific bits than the
Soas distro.  But now we're both assuming, rather than asking.

They're essentially the same right now apart from the choice of
desktop environment.
