I haven't get a cross any reference of running ham software over Sugar.
OLPC comes with Sugar, that is a desktop like gnome, kde or xfce. OLPC
comes with Fedora Linux. You can go to the terminal anytime you want.
I have seen people taking away Sugar and installing Fedora. There is a
preloaded memory card to install fedora 10 on a OLPC been sold on
amazon. I friend of mine installed Ubuntu on a OLPC.

The question is ... when you are saying OLPC are we talking about the
software/hardware combo, or just the hardware?

I want to get one OLPC to try different things, but haven't got it yet.
