Once you do it, I could test in Virtual PC surroundings (both Virtual
PC and Parallels).
But is a whole distribution really necessary? As a multi-os
developer, and an Ubuntu user, I would appreciate having a debian
package (s.a. "sugar-dev") bring me all that's needed. Have you
considered that route, and why not choose it?

Hey guys, we are thinking of building a new linux distribution pre-
configured w/ all of the development tools for Sugar and Squeak.
The reason for this is that it is fairly complicated to set up
Sugar-jhbuild from scratch and download all the development tools
and documentation. Complicating this picture, broadband isn't a
reality for most developers where we are (Nepal). Building sugar-
jhbuild from scratch will take days across a 56K line.
We have alot of talented open-source developers here in Nepal that
are very interested in contributing to OLPC. We can't give
everyone of them an XO but at least we can help them started on
their existing hardware. We envision that people all over the
world could use this distro for Sugar applications development.
We even would like to eventually build in tools for that non-
technical people, such as teachers, could use the distro to create
learning materials.
We intend to hand out CDs of the distro at FOSS meetings and
computer science Departments.
Does anyone know if a similar tool exists? We would like to avoid
duplicating the efforts of others.
Here is the basic description of what we have in mind

We intend to use Ubuntu 6.10 and subsequent Ubuntu releases. We
don't want to get into the business of patch management.
Let me know what you think.
Tentatively we are thinking of calling it XO-Buntu (ZO-buntu) or
Saraswati after the Hindu goddess of knowledge
