I was looking for light linux desktop environments to use with virtual
machines and an old laptop.
I found this http://lxde.org/
The site seems down but you can take a look at youtube

Sugar is a fork of OLPC, so it should be able to run on anything fast
enough to run windows 98 - I'd say PII 300Mhz, and 128ram should be
enough for a basic setup. But keep in mind that OLPC is intended for
education of little kids, not general purpose computing - so a high
school student won't be writing a term paper using Sugar. Depending on
the hardware specs of donated computers I believe it may be more
useful to install a more general purpose distribution on the hard
drives. Of course, in addition to that it's always possible to include
live cd's of various distributions as well as off-line repositories of
open source software.

Given the recent thread about re-purposing old PC's for schools I thought you'd
find this article at Technology Review interesting.

I found it on Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com) this morning. It's about
Sugar, the UI that was developed for OLPC.
Has anyone on the list played with this project? What do you think would be
the minimum hardware requirement to put together a diskless workstation to run
this?
