Sugar: The Cooler Desktop

,----[ Quote ]
| Most of you, Linux users have always been 
| limited to the two big desktop names in 
| Linux. GNOME and KDE today represent the 
| Linux desktop. But there exist other desktop 
| environment along with these two; XFCE, LDE 
| etc. All these desktop enviroment was made 
| with a normal desktop or laptop in mind but 
| one desktop was made with small screen and 
| children in mind.

Video: XO-1.5 Laptop Dual Boot - Gnome and Sugar UI

,----[ Quote ]
| You've heard the talk about the XO-1.5 laptop having a dual boot
| of Gnome and Sugar user interfaces on the Fedora 11 core. You've
| been thinking how this dual boot system might work, and how easy
| it would be to jump back and forth between the two.
