I may be misunderstanding you; if not, you may experience a minor facepalm. XO is Fedora-based, so you should be able to grab the Linux VM sources and roll it up.
There may be some reason that this is harder than I would expect, I don't know; compiling a VM on that hardware might be beyond just painful, but also impossible (insufficient RAM/storage, etc.) but you should still be able to compile it on another box and then drop the files in.
Oh! And IIRC, I had to get an encryption key to flip the yes-I-am-grownup-programmer bit.
The displays on those things are unreal man. I'm tempted to rip it apart and scavenge the screen:)
