[Sugar-devel] Docker in Sugar/XO laptop

[James Cameron]

Thanks for the details.  So instead of "would not work", we have
"might not work."

There are i386 and armhf builds of Docker in Debian Testing, and the
bugs list doesn't seem to have anything major relating to either:

	https://packages.debian.org/docker.io
	https://bugs.debian.org/docker.io

Also in Ubuntu:

	http://packages.ubuntu.com/docker.io

But i386 is not in Fedora, though armv7hl is:

	http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=17053
	http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=634914

Kernel bringup is then the major impediment.
