XO is a brand name of a laptop (promoted as the "$100 laptop").
OLPC is an organisation developing and deploying XOs.
The software developed to run on XOs is called Sugar. The development
of sugar initially happened under the umbrella of OLPC, but is now
branched off as its own independent organisation, Sugarlabs:
http://sugarlabs.org/
Sugar is in the process of being packaged for Debian (primarily be me).
Most probably what Skolelinux consider including/integrating with future
releases of Skolelinux is Sugar, not XO hardware support. I did not
write those wiki pages so others migh have more info on that.
Hope that helps :-)
Kind regards,
- Jonas
