I have a contact with Sun Microsystems, Jeremy Stagg who has expressed a keen interest to see if they can help organise somebody from Sun to see if they can enable it on their terminal services environment for schools, perhaps also get it to run better within Virtual Box, their VM environment. Joel and I had a brief look at this last year with Tony Forster at the VITTA 2008 conference in Melbourne and I had a chance to walk through the idea with Jeremy.

This may not be too coherent I'm pretty tired but I wanted to give feedback. It worked on tons of different computers. Dave Bauer even got it working on the macs. There was one little HP that seemed not to work. A number of computers, including a new eepc couldn't get to the wireless. Everyone loved it! They were thrilled with Sugar and we had a room full of people playing with Turtle Art by the end of the session. People also really got it. They got how having a stick gave the kids access to a known system at multiple locations. They got how valuable working on existing computers would be for them. The lucky ones who were going to get 1-1 netbook deployments want sugar for those too! Walter has pictures. We were the hit of the show. This is the result of so much hard work by so many people, on Sugar on a Stick, on Sugar, and let us not forget all the geeks who came before us who made Linux and all the drivers work on all those machines. I don't know if these teachers really understood how many people worked to make this possible, but what is important is how much they were able to see in a short time about what a difference it could make to their students.
