[Sugar-devel] New Trisquel Sugar Live version

[James Cameron]

Biggest reason to hide it is the destruction it can cause.

Original decision to do so was based on risk of having kids come back
to their teachers with non-working laptops.  Scaling that up to
millions of kids made hiding it a lower cost option.

But given the technical knowledge required to use or install Trisquel
is so much greater than a preloaded laptop, and the number of kids
involved much smaller, Martin should consider making Terminal visible
there.

The file to patch during install or boot is
sugar:data/activities.hidden
which is usually installed at /usr/src/sugar/data/activities.hidden

As upstream, I see insufficient justification to adopt this change for
Sugar.
