I perhaps foolishly brought an XO running debXO-0.4 as my sole laptop<br>
during a multiweek European trip. Midway thru that trip, I am pleased<br>
to report that it is stable enough for reasonable use, at least in my<br>
application (ssh, web, and random downloads of pdf's, mp3's, ogg<br>
videos, etc). See <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/DebXO" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/DebXO</a> .<br></blockquote><div><br>I run something similar on my XO when I'm using it. For developing, I have stock 8.2.0 on a SD partition. My setup is F9 based and using the Awesome window manager. It's certainly nice to be able to 'yum install xyz' and have it just work. I can certainly relate to feeling like my XO has become a 'real' laptop. <br>
<br>Sugar has a ways to go before it's effective as a normal user's desktop. I found the Gnome NM applet vs 'bobbing for access points' analogy particularly amusing.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Wade<br></div></div>
