Hi

The user interface is called Sugar and not the OS itself but a good

technical information and videos featuring Christopher Blizzard, lead

"If the ingenuity of the XO’s hardware is impressive, the machine’s 
software is truly ground-breaking. Red Hat, the world’s largest Linux 
distributor, has provided an extremely compact version of its Fedora 
operating system, called Sugar, that uses a mere 130 megabytes of the 
XO’s flash memory. By comparison, Windows XP requires 1.65 gigabytes."
