[Sugar-devel] acti-plications: write once, run anywhere?

No, it isn't. XOs aren't the only machines running Sugar. And, FWIW,
there's no dual-boot on the XO: Sugar and Gnome are desktop environments,
not operating systems. You can switch between them at run time.

The last time I tried it, SoaS used "liveuser" as user name. On my own XO
(running Debian Squeeze instead of an OLPC build), the user name is
sascha.silbe. On multi-user systems (e.g. LTSP) you'll have several
different users with different user names. And these are just the most
common configurations...

sugar-emulator is meant for development, not regular usage. It doesn't
affect locations (for executables, data, activities, etc.) in any way,
however.

Your remaining questions have probably already been addressed in my
previous message. If not, please ask again.
