Unfortunately, it's hard to predict how reliable this sort of setup will be. It depends on how many access points there are, and how they are wired together. It also depends on the radio performance of your APs and macbooks. It even depends on what the walls of your school are made of. However, I would say that there is at least a good chance that it will work. > Hmm... I have Sugar on three Macbooks.

In Virtualbox? If so, one of our Virtualbox experts will have to work with you on network topology issues. (The problem could be that Virtualbox is running the virtual machine "behind a firewall", rather than giving it direct access to the local network.) --Ben
