New Sugar on a Stick Brings Much Needed Improvements
,----[ Quote ]
| My first impression was how incredibly easy it
| is to obtain and install on your memory stick.
| Fedora has released a flash installation tool
| that handles downloading and imaging the flash
| drive on Windows systems. (There are
| installation instructions for other operating
| systems as well.) Not only is this tool
| available for use to install Sugar on a Stick,
| but you can also test drive other Fedora Linux
| distributions. The tool also allows you to
| partition off some space to save your documents
| to when in the Linux environment. Keep in mind
| that when you run this utility you will wipe
| anything on the memory stick.

Fedora devs keeping OLPC sweet with Sugar
,----[ Quote ]
| Developer Sebastian Dzialias (who was also
| in the OLPC session), said that a new
| version of Sugar on a Stick was coming this
| Tuesday - codenamed Blueberry. It's a good
| thing too, the promise of the XO and its
| desktop, deserves better than to end up in
| a landfill.

OLPC's Netbook Impact on Laptop PC Industry
,----[ Quote ]
| I will list the ways in which OLPC has
| influenced the target market which probably
| defines the interest of most readers of
| OLPC News, the angle from which most
| bloggers and industry commentators have
| been talking about the OLPC project for the
| past 4 years, which is how OLPC technology
| may affect the rich Western country's
| PC/Laptop industry.

| 5. Google is now planning the Chrome OS.
| Educated from the netbooks, the demand from
| the mass consumer market has now definitely
| shifted from performance and bloat, towards
| just asking to have the bare minimum.
| Google is seeing the convergence of market
| trends and are as a result building a very
| optimized OS to boot in 5 seconds and run
| on $50 ARM powered laptops.
|
| OLPC has thus influenced the mass consumer
| and geek markets of rich countries in all
| these ways. But I do think OLPC has still a
| long way to go in the coming months to
| influence the industry even more.
