Pepper 3.1 is an application framework, user experience and suite of Web-connected applications. When it runs on the OLPC laptop, the laptop is still running the OLPC version of Fedora Core 6. It's similar to Opera running on the laptop. In fact, Pepper 3.1 also runs on Windows (it's free to download from <a href="http://www.pepper.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.pepper.com</a>.<br><br>More details on OLPC News:<br><a href="http://www.olpcnews.com/software/operating_system/pepper_pad_operating.html#comments" rel="nofollow">http://www.olpcnews.com/software/operating_system/pepper_pad_operating.html#comments</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wayan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 5th 2007 1:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pepper folks shake a little software onto the OLPC]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/pepper-folks-shake-a-little-software-onto-the-olpc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/pepper-folks-shake-a-little-software-onto-the-olpc/</guid><description><![CDATA[Standby for a trademark dispute... The "XO" brand is already used by "XO Communications" here in the US and the ad-hoc networking capabilities of the OLPC device seem to make it a pretty good target for a lawsuit...

The only changes we've made to the OLPC's underlying Fedora Core Linux OS are loading up a JRE, booting up to our Pepper 3.1 environment (based on Java) instead of Sugar, and adding a new wpa_supplicant and Wi-Fi drivers. Everything else basically stays the same.<br><br>- Sean Sosik-Hamor (Pepper Computer, Inc.)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sean Sosik-Hamor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 5th 2007 1:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pepper folks shake a little software onto the OLPC]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/pepper-folks-shake-a-little-software-onto-the-olpc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/pepper-folks-shake-a-little-software-onto-the-olpc/</guid><description><![CDATA[This thing is starting to look hot even for a low end laptop i think imma pick one up too. :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Regula Oblique]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 5th 2007 1:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pepper folks shake a little software onto the OLPC]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/pepper-folks-shake-a-little-software-onto-the-olpc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/pepper-folks-shake-a-little-software-onto-the-olpc/</guid><description><![CDATA[actually, im pretty sick of OLPC.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Otsego]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 5th 2007 1:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pepper folks shake a little software onto the OLPC]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/pepper-folks-shake-a-little-software-onto-the-olpc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/pepper-folks-shake-a-little-software-onto-the-olpc/</guid><description><![CDATA[I bet a few kids who recieve one, will use a friend's/class mate's OLPC to sell theirs for top dollar on E-Bay - which Engadget will then purchase :b]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 5th 2007 3:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pepper folks shake a little software onto the OLPC]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/pepper-folks-shake-a-little-software-onto-the-olpc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/pepper-folks-shake-a-little-software-onto-the-olpc/</guid><description><![CDATA[The on-screen text in that photo looks really small.

It's on our todo list to make a customized OLPC theme for Pepper 3.1 that will more efficiently use all the screen real estate. But we only got our OLPCs a week or two ago and scrambled to get Pepper 3.1 up and running for CES. :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sean Sosik-Hamor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 5th 2007 10:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pepper folks shake a little software onto the OLPC]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/pepper-folks-shake-a-little-software-onto-the-olpc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/pepper-folks-shake-a-little-software-onto-the-olpc/</guid><description><![CDATA[raindog, the OLPC itself appears to be fast enough to play YouTube videos but the current roadblock is Flash 7. We sent a video over to Carrypad.com that demos 320x240 Quicktime H.264 movie trailers from Apple.com and they play flawlessly. The YouTube video, however, plays a little choppy as you'll see in the video once Steve Paine releases it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sean Sosik-Hamor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 5th 2007 10:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pepper folks shake a little software onto the OLPC]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/pepper-folks-shake-a-little-software-onto-the-olpc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/pepper-folks-shake-a-little-software-onto-the-olpc/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well, Flash 9's out in beta for Linux; I have it installed on the laptop on which I'm typing this.
