All’ultima conferenza sul Software Libero in America Latina (FISL), Christopher Blizzard e altri sviluppatori di Sugar si sono presentati con qualche LiveCD per far sì che chi fosse interessato potesse fare un po’ di ‘hacking’ e visionare Sugar, ma dati gli ottimi risultati ottenuti, l’immagine del LiveCD è ancora disponibile per il download. Secondo quanto riportato dai feedback, il sistema funziona molto bene su macchine virtuali come Qemu e VMWare, e a parte qualche piccolo contrattempo con il wi-fi su alcune architetture, Sugar sembra essere perfettamente funzionante.

The neat thing is that he really gets why Fedora 7 is such an important release for us and also for the rest of the free and open source software community. The main feature of Fedora 7, aside from lots of new stuff that the community has been working on (wireless drivers, new GNOME, etc) this release is mostly about enabling the community to do cool stuff with Fedora and let the community get in the drivers seat for the distribution. From building Fedora-based security USB keys to OLPC, we’re already living the flexibility that open tools and open community can provide.

But feedback is important. What would help let everyone see what the environment can do? Ask away, this is a good a forum as any..." Just keep up the good work! I'll try to make a long story short here: I'm an educator - a little computer savvy, but not enough to hack on the command line. I love how easy it was to set up a Comswiki server on my Mac Mini, and start using it... (or just "Squeak-it" on one of the other major platforms). If it were possible to easily set up a working system on existing infrastructure = school server + some clients - and actually start using it... man, that would help! On the long run I see a world where there will be an adoption plan with twin-schools bridging the knowledge&poverty-gap on a one-to-one basis: headmaster-to-headmaster, grade_x_teacher-to-grade_x_teacher, y_year_old-to-y_year_old, etcetera... get the idea? Brace yourself for a longterm education programme at all levels, with a lot of stick-to-it-iveness... it won't just happen by itself! If you want me to make it a longer story: just write me... Kind regards, Martin Dear Christopher,

Made a new VM to run from livecd iso image. No problem starting up. Only issue, and i'm not sure if it unique to my vmware install, it's that the screen i rather small. I was able to get online, but didn't hear any sound going the the instruments section. I went back and added the sound adapter for vmware, instruments are now audible. I liked to organ sound a lot. The classic gnome feature feature is awesome. Just gotta figure out how to get a higher resolution screen, if possible Downloaded

It took me ages to find out that they were on the Red Hat server. I'd post the link here but I'm browing this page from the livecd (copy and paste into the web browser field seems to be broken) so I'll just say try doing a google search for olpc redhat . I couldn't get a gnome-terminal under the GNOME environment so in the end I went to one of the VTs and used DISPLAY=:299 xterm to get a terminal to pop up.

Qemu has an eth0 device that works in the livecd, but you have to start it from the console. Not sure about networking.

Works using the free Innotek VirtualBox (apart from networking, unless there's something you need to do to start network working). Sounds etc works fine. Good stuff.
