It's command line, any work for any x86 apps to run through it would
need to be done.

 In the past OLPC has worked with deployments to get their custom
 activities updated to be more platform independent.  In general most
 applications available in Fedora are now compiled for ARM automatically as
 well.

 Adobe Flash support is available for 11.3.1 and 12.1.0 for XO-1.75 (along
 with accelerated video playback in the latter) but I would not be the
 person to know their licensing.  Contact whomever you are working with at
 OLPC (for sales/deployment/etc.) for details.


So there has already been some deployment with XO-1.75? I'll try to talk
about this with responsible person. I hope they won't charge for the
license though.
