[sugar] SAGE on XO?

[Jeremy Glick]

Speaking of this, does anybody know if R is expected to be ported/ 
portable to the XO?  (Or does Sage have comparable functionality?)   
Clearly a bit much for younger students, but I'm curious about the  
possibility of having statistical analysis packages available for  
learners to examine various kinds of data sets.
