That's why I wrote "so I can't test it directly" ;)

Yeah, I had to use jhbuild and precompiled ubuntu packages in order to 
try and use Sugar.

I don't really know if the boot management system is the same on all 
Macs, what I wanted to say is that there are live Linux distributions 
for both series and those distros only include free software, so there 
won't be any need for the developers to use proprietary blessings.

Kind regards
