Netbooks are a better choice for most actual use.
Ren'Py itself and vanilla visual novels seem to run OK on my OLPC. The OLPC default distribution does not do resolution changing, so everything will be displayed at the OLPC-native 1200x900, letterboxed as needed. Animations are somewhat laggy. Science Girls' battle sequences don't work (they will often hang after an attack; rolling back and trying the attack again will usually get around it. This happens on both 6.8.0f and 6.9.0e, but it may be a bug in my code rather than in Ren'Py - I'll see if I can isolate it properly.)
Scite was sluggish, but usable. JEdit is being absurd - the loading splashscreen sits there frozen, only advancing when I start and stop other applications.
Testing it on the OLPC did remind me of one thing I'd been wondering - is there a recommended way to make Ren'Py redraw the screen from within an animation? Ideally, I'd have my TransitionAnimations force screen redraws when the attack animation is completely imagedissolved in, so
I can be assured that _a_ frame will be rendered the way I want it.
