following the advice of Tutle SVC
on emulating the One Laptop Per Child operating system, here there are the 3 steps for doing it on a mac running osx.

You need to get the OLPC image disk and the VMWare Fusion beta Virtualizer

Here are the 3 steps for emulating OLPC XO on a mac
1.- unzip the olpc image
2.- double click on the olpc.vmx file
3.- there´s no step 3 ….. (it´s a mac)

even tought if you do not feel like installing anything you can just play this screencast of the interface and check the features, as chat, word processor and internet navigation.

    The VMWare site suggests that the Beta will be released at a later date… So I guess there's nothing to do but sign up for the Beta and wait for it to arrive.

    I think VMware can only work on a Intel Based Mac. Are there any Virtual Machine can work on PowerPC Processor and can load this OLPC Image

    Hi folks,

    It seems alright with VMware. What about Parallels?

    I have tried both VM and for me Paralles is better for me.

    I'm looking for the OLPC build image. None of the many links on the web right now seem to go anywhere, including from this blog entry.

    Where'd it go?
