I don't know anyone who did, but do you ? On the other hand I tried OLPC OS in a virtual machine, a pair of years ago. I didn't like it. :)

I have no idea how to do it.  Was just looking for a way to make it use full.  Got it today at a garage sale from some one who bought it from the get one give one program.  Their child could not use it.  I like the idea and the hardware but think PCLinuxOS LXDE would make the whole thing work.   I think I may have gone off topic now. If so please delete this response MOD's as I relay would like to know how to install LXDE on a OLPC.

What is available to get in ? USB ? Network only ? Any entry should allow you to install a distro in it.
