This might work as well for you as a dual-boot: The other night I fooled around and figured out I could: (1) root login (ctrl-alt F1) (2) edit /etc/yum.d/fedora.repo to change the "enabled 0" to "enabled 1" (3) run "yum install xfce4-session" (4) copy /home/olpc/.xsession-example to .xsession (5) change the line in .xsession at the bottom from "#exec xterm" to "exec xfce4-session" (no '#') (6) get a developer key and back things up in case the system hangs when you reboot (don't actually know how to do that myself, but I'm a risk-taker and tried it with no backup - which was probably wicked stupid for someone who doesn't know linux inside out). (7) had to reboot twice for some reason (first time hung >10 minutes) (8) sugar complains about "some other wm running?", but it all works like a charm. (9) right-click on the xfce4 desktop manager at the top of the screen and disable it (sugar really wants the whole screen, and things get hidden if you don't), and right-click on the xfce4 button panel at the bottom and move it to the top-right, where it doesn't get in the way of most Sugar UI. (10) You can pretty much install any app in http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/Fedora/, until you fill up your NVRAM (OpenOffice.org, for instance, might be a poor choice). Firefox with tabs works swimmingly. Haven't figured out how to make a sugar button for it yet... This is from memory, there might be some misspellings/skipped steps.
