I own one. And yes, it is for kids... BUT.
I have been using the XO for almost a month. And this is what I have done with it.
I have installed Xfce4 for it and most of the plug-ins and with dual boot. I use Xfce4 file manager, also have mc installed too.
* Installed mplayer, for avi files, and it works great.
* xmms, for mp3 files, works good. Sound is not like on my desktop, but in the bedroom late at night it fine.
* Firefox full version and Macromedia Flash for surfing...
* Wifi is powerful.
I was driving to my sister's, my son was checking out the network connects as we drove along the roads. (Some networks were not locked).
I have been using yum (for red hat linux) to install software.
My aforementioned son, a college student, enjoys to play simcity and doom on it.
People who see it like it. Remember that this is for kids.
Screen is outstanding for XO's size.
Yes, it cost $400, but that was for two. One went to a child...
The bottom line, this will help drive down cost on all laptops.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
