Hi
The user interface is called Sugar and not the OS itself but a good
article nevertheless. BBC published a couple of articles with more
technical information and videos featuring Christopher Blizzard, lead
OLPC team in Red Hat.

"If the ingenuity of the XO’s hardware is impressive, the machine’s
software is truly ground-breaking. Red Hat, the world’s largest Linux
distributor, has provided an extremely compact version of its Fedora
operating system, called Sugar, that uses a mere 130 megabytes of the
XO’s flash memory. By comparison, Windows XP requires 1.65 gigabytes."
