List the category "Fun Games":
 ./xo-get.py list fun

 ./xo-get.py install cc
Removing simcity
 ./xo-get.py remove simc

 ./xo-get.py list gcompris
Install GCompris activities:
 ./xo-get install gcompris-...
Install all GCompris activities (> 100):

== Repositories ==
Newer versions of xo-get (>1.0) use a [http://xo-get.olpc.at/repository/ central repository] ([http://xo-get.olpc.at/repository/xoget.xml xml]), which is synced daily with the sub-'repositories'. Advantages of this structure are
* 'xo-get update' will not break on changes in the repositories
* supplying with filesizes and system-names (which sometimes differ from the wiki-names)
* much less traffic on updates
* backup repositories
