Plan Ceibal installed that Sugar 0.87.1, (on Ubuntu 10.04.3) because
they didn't Know that TurtleArt Runs on Ubunto+Gnome, they think
that running Turtle Art under Sugar is the only Way to install it.<br>
<br>
It is not my opinion, is what Plan Ceibal said on the official
courseware to High school teachers.<br>
<br>
They teach that to the Professors that uses the <a
href="http://rapceibal.ning.com/forum/topics/laptops-para-educacion-media">Magellan</a>.
(that the reason to install Sugar was to run Turtle Art on Ubuntu)<br>
<br>
I Think they want Turtle Art and Etoys to run on a near future with
the Lego robots that They already bought.<br>
<br>
<br>
They also installed under Gnome: Etoys, Geogebra, Tuxpaint,
Mathgraph, Python Interpreter, Scratch, OpenOffice, Blender, Pitivi,
etc.<br>
<br>
<br>
On the Sugar that is installed on <a
href="http://rapceibal.ning.com/forum/topics/laptops-para-educacion-media">Magellan
LAptops </a>there are many activities that don't Run at all (I
don't know why). Y tried to install many activities and there are
a few that runs. "BRowse" don't Run, for example, (I installed it
with a pendrive). Turtle Art (the new one) runs OK, Write also,
terminal, and the "software update" on the control panel.<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
In some High School and technical svhools they have The MAgellan
both TEachers and Children , but only in the departmente of
"Canelones" (500,000 inhabitants). <br>
<br>
On the rest of Uruguayan High schools and technical Schools the
Children have XO 1.5 (Sugar+Gnome) and the teachers have the
MAgellan (Ubuntu+Gnome+Handicapped Sugar)<br>
<br>
Teachers have a 160 Gb Magellan, and children an 8 Gb SSD Magellan<br>
