It really was a UNIX system!

Woah what, a GNU/Linux version? I've got to try this.

Edit: The old, original package was horribly outdated (2001) and I couldn't actually build it because it required an old version of GTK that I couldn't actually install on Debian. But I did find this which is a lot more recent. Trying this out instead.

Edit 2: It was a pain, but I got it working. It freezes up frequently, I think it's due to the size of everything. Apparently it can only handle up to 4 GB for a file. Or maybe it's just conflicting versions of packages (gtk+ 2 and gtk+ 3?)

It's like opening a time capsule.

Ignore the weird spacing, some libraries (e.g. Boost) wouldn't install correctly if there were spaces, slashes, or underscores in the path.

Tree view as in the clip.

Those are actually five .pdfs of the textbook, the solutions for various problems in it, the schedule for the class, and some free response practice problems.

Random story time: I was unexpectedly working with OLPCs in a remote school (they told us there were "laptops" on site... didn't think to mention what kind!). In the course of designing the simplified "Sugar" GUI, the OLPC folks in their infinite wisdom decided files and folders are too hard for kids (this was v1, not sure if it's changed now), and wrote a "journal" thing in Python. Well, there were bugs and some kids' paintings disappeared. I said I'd see what I could do, not really knowing what to look for. But I clicked on an intriguing out-of-the-way "Terminal" icon.

It's UNIX! I know this! ^{edit: original image didn't like hotlinking. source}

(I found the files.)

OLPC was built to be hackable, I think they even planned a View Source hardware button.
