I think that Sugar has a-ways to go before it can be considered a 
panacaea.  If you guys think it's legitimately something that educators in 
the US will go for as a Desktop OS for the classroom, we could certainly 
think about repackaging it for broader use.

The nice thing about the OLPC, of course, is that the hardware profile is 
100% known -- which allows the developers to optimize Sugar for the OLPC. 
That said, it certainly runs on other platforms -- my laptop running FC6, 
for instance.
