Walter,

I was wondering, would it be possible to make a live CD with Linux and
sugar jhbuild and the source code for a few activities all on it and
use that for teachers and students to hack and test activities?

this (old) article explains what sort of thing sugar-jhbuild is and where
the jh in the name comes from - the 3 paragraphs under the 'Sugar Basics'
heading

this looks to me to be a better way to go than using emulators but still not
easy

the not easy quirkiness is confirmed by reading this:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_with_sugar-jhbuild

joel told me that he was making an activity using sugar-jhbuild but ran into
some buggy issues that he couldn't solve even with the help of a couple of
the developers
