In the past, OLPC and the community produced Live CDs, allowing OLPC's "Sugar" interface to be run on "regular computers" without making any permanent changes to the system. Today, Sugar is developed as a generic project and is available in various different live media forms, see Sugar Labs Downloads.
Information regarding old LiveCD projects based around very old OLPC software releases can be found at LiveCd/Historical.
