GTK is a toolkit for X11, and Python and GTK are both implemented in C. However, Motif isn't part of the default install, and window/window manager interaction is quite different from what we are used to on desktop X11. By modern standards, Motif isn't big, though.

OLPC comes with Sugar, that is a desktop like gnome, kde or xfce. OLPC comes with Fedora Linux. You can go to the terminal anytime you want. I have seen people taking away Sugar and installing Fedora. There is a preloaded memory card to install fedora 10 on a OLPC been sold on amazon. I friend of mine installed Ubuntu on a OLPC. The question is ... when you are saying OLPC are we talking about the software/hardware combo, or just the hardware? I want to get one OLPC to try different things, but haven't got it yet. -- Neville https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v Linux User # 473217 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Check: http://www.clickmanagua.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ___ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

Nobody mentioned > getting Xastir running on it (which uses X11/Motif and is written in > C). I've installed the default Xastir from the Ubuntu repository on my XO running Ubuntu 8.04.1 (dual booting off an SD card). Haven't played with it much but it seems to work fine. A project for another day is to get a radio interface going, possibly soundmodem or a usb tnc. The default Sugar interface would probably be more work though I suspect it is still possible, I've installed other X11 stuff on it. Generally though I find Sugar too 'different' and even my kids prefer Ubuntu. ... Niall ___ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

I don't recall anyone mentioning that it ran on an XO. I thought the XO didn't have all the X11 stuff on it. Is that true? If it is true, does the box have enough room and software support to put the required libraries on it? A quick grep through my 2007/2008 Xastir messages showed that the XO OLPC was running pygtk and lots of Python apps. Nobody mentioned getting Xastir running on it (which uses X11/Motif and is written in C). -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
