Thanks a lot for the feedback Peter. I will check these out.<div> </div><div>For the record, I was thinking about Sugar on Linux on Raspberry, not Android.

It's generally not particularly fast and has a number of HW problems, as a "look at how cool we are" I wouldn't be chosing the RPi to run sugar on Android, even on Linux the experience isn't great. >> There are a >> number of other ARM devices that sugar runs beautifully on though. > > > It would also be interesting to know more about these devices.

Well Fedora produces SoaS on ARM images that will run on any of the ARM platforms Fedora supports. I would be looking at BeagleBone Black [1] (improvements still needed, should be much better soon), Wandboard [2], Utilite [3] (little brother to the TrimSlice) or the CuBox-i [4]. The last of which has the cheapest model at $45 in a case and will be much faster, we should have OOTB graphics for the last 3 devices (all based on the i.MX6) in Fedora 21 (maybe later in the F-20 cycle) and the experience will be much better for little to no price increase over the RPi.
