This is great indeed.

But I suspect the answer to "does it run on this specific hardware?" is 
more a matter of kernel drivers, X11 configuration and other parts of a 
Linux distribution than of _Sugar_ itself.

A starting point could be http://www.linux-laptop.net/

Question then is, if Sugarlab wants to duplicate such huge work?
