Dear Gerry Wonderful to hear your positive experiences. As you've correctly assumed, Sugar on a Stick does not contain non-free drivers. Do you have experience with the Fedora GNU/Linux distribution? If so, I recommend you take a peek at http://rpmfusion.org/. If not, some instructions are here: https://answers.launchpad.net/soas/+faq/746
Please let me know if those instructions provide sufficient clarity.
