This article is different because it covers installing GNOME with the Netbook Remix packages. The early stages of the procedure come directly from the article "Ubuntu on the OLPC XO" on wiki.laptop.org, as mentioned several times in the article and evidenced by linking it twice, once embedded and once at the end. I feel that that constitutes giving Francisco Athens and all the people over at Free like GNU the credit they are due. You don't need to remind me that I'm standing on the shoulders of giants.

All of the existing articles address installing Xfce as the desktop environment with Gutsy. None of them explain the difficulties I encountered with a Hardy installation, specifically the error screen I get during installation. I'm sorry you feel that the article has no merit but I could've saved two days of my own experimentation if I had had it initially. My article is intended to document my experiences with Netbook Remix on the XO and provide a starting point for further experimentation with that UI. In that regard I believe it has merit.
