I loved my XO. I used it for writing Forth code to relive the BASIC hacking of my youth. Great in that niche :-) I don't think I ever had fun with it after boo

  That's Mitch Bradley's Open Firmware Forth, which was also on Suns, post-NuBus PowerPC Macs, Pegasos, and IBM Power Systems! I used to call it "L1-A Forth", because that's the Forth you got when you pressed "L1-A" on a Sun keyboard to get into the boot monitor. He also made a great version of that Forth system with a metacompiler that ran under Unix (Forthmacs), which I used a lot. https://github.com/MitchBradley https://github.com/MitchBradley https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Firmware https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Firmware https://elinux.org/Flameman/openfirmware-apple https://elinux.org/Flameman/openfirmware-apple http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=1965.0 http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=1965.0 https://github.com/ForthHub/ForthFreak/blob/master/Forthmacs https://github.com/ForthHub/ForthFreak/blob/master/Forthmacs

  The Fedora-based distro is definitely a pain. Sugar has some neat ideas, it it's way too slow. I've enjoyed using mine with Debian and a tiling WM. Much snappier. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Installing_Debian_as_an_upgrade#Step_1:_Create_debian_bootstrap http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Installing_Debian_as_an_upgrade#St...

  I wanted one for the Forth environment too! OLPC's Forth Tutorial: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Forth_Lessons http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Forth_Lessons
