Spent a little time looking at linux commands so that I would have some kind of an idea what I was doing while I installed sugar, and eventually got to actually trying to install it. It took a little bit of effort on my part (due to inexperience for the most part) to get './sugar-jhbuild build' to actually get started due to a number of missing packages/dependencies; the biggest hangup was trying to install ncurses, but eventually I figured out that all I had to do was apt-get install libncurses5-dev (I think that was it, don't remember off the top of my head). |

Once it actually started building I watched for a couple minutes before realizing that it was probably going to be a fairly long wait before it was done. I assume that I screwed something up and even when this is done it won't work, but hopefully not. |

Researched OLPC development, specifically installing Sugar. Having not used Linux in several years, I also took some time to look up a good distro to use with Sugar and decided on Ubuntu 7.04. I installed Ubuntu onto the laptop that I will be using for development later on, and then got to work here on the wiki. I've never edited/created a wiki page, so there was a bit of learning there.
