Hi, I was wondering if there's been any talk in the group about the OLPC project (http://laptop.org/), its Fedora-based Sugar interface (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar) or the XO laptop itself (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO:_The_Children%27s_Machine).
Sugar can be run on non-XO laptops and desktops as well. See http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Supported_systems for details. For instance, in Ubuntu Hardy, simply go to Synaptic and search for Sugar. Select the packages and install. Then log out and log back into a new session under Sugar instead of GNOME. To do so, when you are at the login screen click on "Options" > "Session" and select "Sugar". This will give you a real Sugar environment to play with. Alternatively, you could grab a Live CD from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/LiveBackup_XO-LiveCD and boot with it and get a full Fedora-based stack. cheers, Sameer -- Dr. Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Information Systems San Francisco State University San Francisco CA 94132 USA http://verma.sfsu.edu/ http://opensource.sfsu.edu/
