My Spanish is lousy, but it looks to me like you:

1. Install Fedora 11 with it's standard Sugar packages
2. Add some XO inspired boot animations
3. Setup GDM to automatically login a single local user
4. Install a local activity bundle

The result would appear to be a machine which is dedicated for use as
a Sugar machine for a single default user.  The journal
will be on the local hard drive.   People who want to switch from
machine to machine will have to copy things from the
journal to some portable media (maybe USB stick).

Is that a fair summary?
