The “one-hundred-dollar laptop” operating system is available for download.

Only the employees of Quanta Computers and the children from the third world countries, where cheap laptops are delivered to Negroponte and his comrades, can turn the hands of the brainchild of the sensational One Laptop Per Child project, the so-called “hundred dollar laptop”. However, to familiarize yourself with the Sugar operating system installed on each XO laptop, you do not need to become a Nigerian schoolboy. All you have to do is download the OS image that is distributed on the Web for more than a day.

To do this, visit uneasysilence.com, merge the operating system image offered there (by the way, already carefully configured) and install it on your PC, without forgetting to run the emulator first, for example, VMWare or Parallels.

Actually, the benefits of Sugar on a modern PC are no more than from Windows 3.1. However, it is quite possible to simply get acquainted with what is to be done by children in developing countries.
