As it well shouldn't. Such tasks require system administrator  
privlages and are beyond the scope of the Sugar UI at this time.

That is simply not the case, people are happily running Sugar on  
Fedora with a variety of hostnames and users.

Whether individual activity authors and vendors have bugs and hard- 
coded paths is unknowable, but such things should be reported in Trac.

NFS should be trivial, this *is* POSIX after all. You could even use  
symlinks to a sshfs share with GmailFS running on a BSD server for all  
Sugar is concerned.
