Anyone like to comment on the significance of this patch? x86: olpc: add One Laptop Per Child architecture supportMy understanding was that people were adding to or replacing the custom-made Sugar interfaced GNU/Linux OS with Ubuntu and other distros on the XO without much difficulty.

OLPC Posted Jul 14, 2008 12:40 UTC (Mon) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] The OLPC system is different from a normal PC; the project has been carrying a number of kernel patches needed to make this system work. They have merged those changes upstream. That's all.
The 2.6.26 kernel is out Posted Jul 14, 2008 16:26 UTC (Mon) by dilinger (subscriber, #2867) [Link] Note that it is not complete; the OLPC project is carrying additional patches (which will eventually go upstream). 2.6.26 is the first kernel that will boot and run on an XO, however. As far as replacing Sugar, I'm writing this comment on an XO that's running Gnome and Debian (lenny). :)
