Hi,

Yes I think it will be. Definitely check in with us before you burn and try
out your choosen release.  Wait as long as you can before you burn,
certainly not before we have a chance to fix any bugs we find during FOSSVT
April 10th.

I hope we will have a solution that works on the Mac by then but we don't
right now.

Absolutely!!! You can also get Sugar Labs branded sticks if you can find
funding for them.  The current batch I think cost $9 each.   We would love
to have you handing out Sugar Labs branded sticks, we just can't guarantee
we can buy them for you.

When do you have to commit?  We can tell you after FOSSVT what our
experience is.

PC is a much better bet right now. I have hope that by April 25th we can say
yes to either.

Wait, March 2010???  Really? Like a year from now?  It will definitely work
on either and be stable and robust by then. We are really really close.
April 25th is somewhat uncertain, but next March is a YES!
