This Live-CD project targets the main goals:

  * give children, students, teachers and parents
    the opportunity to participate and use the
    educational software on a common PC
  * support demonstration of OLPC software to non-developers
  * for developers the CD provides an easy maintainable Live-System,
    which could be used to develop and test activities on the sugar desktop
