Classmates are pretty solid. I've got a couple of them from 2010.
It's basically a low end Atom class netbook.<br>
Let me know if you need me to test anything. I'm intrigued by your
Archlinux work, btw, these could be nice targets for it.<br>
<br>
FYI Venezuela gave one to each primary school child and Argentina
has I think about a couple of million of them.<br>
<br>
My 2yr old daughter loves to use Doudoulinux on the classmates, and
has I think more fun than with Sugar.<br>

<br>
This brings me to a proposal to put in the Sugar roadmap: <b><br>
100% compatibility with regular linux apps.</b><br>
To me that means appropiate ways to:<br>
* Launch/favorite from home view<br>
* Have correct Frame Icon (not grey ball).<br>
<br>
* Nice to haves: <br>
* notification area <br>
* proper unobstrusive but readable libnotify support<br>
* find created documents / files.<br>
* missing standard icons, with sugar look and feel<br>
<br>
The rationale is it would open up a bunch of content and apps
unavailable to us for no good reason, as seen in Doudoulinux for
young children and other stuff for older ones, such as Celestia,
etc.<br>
<br>
Also, having this, would turn me into a user, and I believe in
dogfooding. I used 0.94 for a long time,<br>
but reverted to XFCE.<br>
<br>
I have not created a feature page because I can't commit the time to
implementing it myself.<br>
<br>
