Speaking for myself, if it was Ubuntu I wanted to run -- I would not
choose the XO as the platform -- I would choose something more
powerful, even if it cost more than $200 USD.
I __have__ installed a distro (let's call it "OLPC") on my XO, which
provides goodies (such as a reasonably working OHM in Joyride) that
other currently available distros don't.
The advice given above ("install a distro") seems to say: "What you
have now - throw it out !!". Thanks.
