[IAEP] Recommend build for XO-1.0 deployment

[forster at ozonline.com.au]

I have been using OS258py

It is unsigned and requires that the XO's be unlocked but that's not too hard to do for a small deployment

Later py builds are even better but I havent tried them

The main advantage is having Gnome. If you get stuck trying to do something in Sugar, you drop briefly into Gnome, fix your problem and then go back to Sugar. Alt tab is not working in 258py, (I believe fixed in later versions) but its a small price to pay for having Gnome
