I currently (Abo 18:06, 6 July 2009 (UTC)) feel confused about the different Fedora based distros that are either targeting the various XO computers or centred around the Sugar environment. I'm therefore going to try to make sense of if all.

For each distro I want to answer the following questions:

  • What hardware is it targeted for? (XO-1, XO-1.5, XO-2, PC?)
  • How is it distributed? (Live ISOs, live USB images, NAND images, virtual machine images, installable OS (anaconda).)
  • What distro is it based on? (Fedora X, Rawhide, etc.)
  • What are the desktop environments (or services in case of XS) targeted for it? (Sugar, GNOME, ...)
  • How is it built? (tools to generate the distribution)
  • How, from where is it distributed?
  • What customizations have been done?
    • Kernel?
      • How are the patches/fork/whatever maintained?
      • How is it built?
      • From where is it distributed?
    • X.org?
      • etc.
  • What is the state of maintenance? (Broken, unmaintained, abandoned, under development, being deployed, in active use, obsoleted.)

And for all of the above, where is it documented?

Perhaps useful resources:
