% About this Manual: Introduction

The XO laptop is an educational tool designed to be put into the hands
of every child. By using free and open source software and world-wide
software development efforts, OLPC has championed XOs for delivery
around the world in multiple languages.

The XO runs free and open software, Sugar, which allows anyone to run,
copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Many people
contributing to OLPC believe that these freedoms are critical to
fulfilling OLPC's educational goals.

When you open the XO, you will see the high-resolution, easy-to-read
screen that works even in direct sunlight. You can also flip the XO into
a book reader mode. The XO is designed to take outdoors and it even
survives the rough-and-tumble daily lives that children lead.

We hope you learn more about the XO laptop by reading these pages, so
that you can learn more with the XO laptop.
