 As discussed on the devel mailing list, we should be finding someone with
 Debian (and/or Fedora experience) who is interested in porting the
 software stack and activities to the EEEpc.

 This would likely require a guru-level Debian/Fedora distro person who
 could spelunk through the various issues around the kernel configurations,
 Koji setups, packaging and the like.  The end goal would be an image (or
 package-set) that could be loaded onto an Asus EEEpc which would include
 the Sugar environment.

 Preferably the Sugar environment would be able to exist alongside the
 EEEpc's own simplified Linux GUI.  To achieve that it might be best to
 package as a set of Debian apts that can be installed automatically on the
 EEEpc using apt-get.

 Work on the Ubuntu packages should have made this easier, but there will
 still likely be lot of dependency resolution headaches involved.
