Sugar does runs on other architecturs too: as on the Yeeloong and the Gdium
laptops, both using an mips processor. Here, a Yeeloong launchs Sugar, however,
du to dependencies issues, it's not yet usable. We are using the binaries
provided by the official repositories. On could use the jhbuild method too.

On the Gdium, shipped with Mandriva, we are trying to achieve the same result,
but the jhbuild process fails early.

As for the arm target, it appears to be a promissing platform, as a few arm
notebooks/netbooks are announced in the next monts or are already available.
Consequently, trying to port Sugar on those platforms will certainly be worth
the effort.


regards

Samy
