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.
Can It Run at a Mac based on PowerPC Processor, like my PowerBook G4 or PowerMac?
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

Try qemu.
Hi Jim. Photos i received. Thanks
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?

[...] Filed under: Laptops While OLPC’s XO laptops are just now starting to roll off the assembly lines in Taiwan, everyone’s chomping at the bit to get their hands on one. Until the lean green machines start turning up on eBay after reaching Libyan shores, however, curious folks (like us) will have to settle for running the XO in software emulation. OLPC News has just published instructions on how to install the emulator on a Windows PC or on Mac OS X (pictured), but to accomplish either, you’ll need VMware. Bonus points if you manage to paint your laptop the same OLPC green as the XO for the full effect. [...]

[...] This is sentiment explains why I’m interested in seeing how the OLPC plays out. If you watch the OLPC interface screencast (video), you can see the Linux underpinnings in the OS quite apparent, which makes me wonder if it’ll still be too complex for the less literate children. If you’re interested to dig deeper, you can download an image of the OLPC and run it on your Mac or Windows PC using a virtual machine emulator (e.g. VMware). You can get the how-to and the downloads via Edgar’s blog. [...]
