While working at guadalinex I seriously pushed to include sugar. Resistance was futile as the Borg might say. You see they have a pretty established Linux environment that has many custom educational tools. It is an extremely uphill battle to get them using even a tiny part of sugar, and that coming from an ex-INSIDER. so good luck.

I have an explanation, though: PCs with some GNU Linux educational distro are deployed all around Spain, taken care of by the regional authorities, which makes the situation different from the French one (individual or local initiatives) or the Central/South American one (OLPC or similar hardware). Consider the case in Andalusia. All the computers, the thousands of them, are administered and updated remotely - so the operating system has to be the same all around, the network configuration and services, etc. From the Spanish point of view, Sugar running on GNU LInux, as an environment like Squeak, would be more interesting than as an alternative independent approach.
