I upgraded to 12.1.0 and plan to try the 13 version soon.
Doing the upgrade isn't that hard. You need to download a couple of files
and put then on a usb drive or sd card. One file was small, the other a bit
under 800 MB. There are complete instructions on the
laptop.org wiki.
12.1.0 is more or less am arm version of F17. I was able to use yum to do
updates and add a few games I wanted to be able to play.
It is an ARM version of F-17, the only diversion is the kernel. I'm
going to do more of a blog post for the planet about using Fedora on
the XO for those that have received them next week when I'm back from
holidays.
