Submitted by Shawn on Friday, 26 June 2009No Comment
The open-source operating system design for the OLPC XO is now available for download. The OS can be loaded onto a USB stick to run on PCs and Macs. The OS has a new interface and custom educational software.
“What we are doing is taking a bunch of old machines that barely run Windows 2000, and turning them into something interesting and useful for essentially zero cost,” says Walter Bender, former president of the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) project. “It becomes a whole new computer running off the USB key; we can breathe new life into millions of decrepit old machines.”
The free version of Sugar on a Stick is available in a 383MB ISO file. So if you have an old PC or Mac lying around give it a try.
