You're light-years ahead of me; first of all I've got to p*ss around with the Terminal to get the thing onto the hard disk; whether I can be bothered to do that is the biggest question at the moment. Until I have had the smallest kids I work with (7-8 years old) play with the thing from a live CD I'm doing Nuffin further.

'Objously' the GUI of RunRev would have to be re-done to be successful and congruent with the Sugar interface Well, it also needs to redone to be successful and congruent with the Gnome or any other Linux interface! -- virtual desktops -- resizing of IDE elements. Or resolution independence, if they prefer that.

[OT] OLPC GUI
Wow: I'm running an OLPC Sugar live CD on a P4 just now to get a feel for the interface. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Live_CD It is totally other; i.e. non-WIMP, which is rather refreshing; although the whole thing is rather confusing i you have been using WIMP GUIs for the last 20 years. It is, however, not targetted at people who have had access to computers, let alone WIMP GUIs, at all. I shall subject some of the kids I teach and see how they react to the thing; although they are bombed out on Windows XP, and are comfortable using GNOME in my school. - How would one integrate some form of RunRev into this interface? Certainly worth thinking about. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
