[OLPC-Jamaica] Fun with Strawberry

[Sameer Verma]

If you haven't tried out the Strawberry release of Sugar, grab the ISO from
http://www.legaltorrents.com/torrents/599-sugar-on-a-stick (bit torrent) or
from http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-strawberry.iso (http)

This is a live CD and will boot your computer without installing. Simply pop
the CD in your computer and reboot. Make sure your computer's BIOS is set to
boot from CD (most usually are).

Among other activities, you'll get to see the Speak activity, which now has
a "West Indies" accent. Try it out and see if it really works. Speak also
supports a speaking robot that relies on ALICE (
http://alice.pandorabots.com/).

You can also install a slew of activities from
http://activities.sugarlabs.org/ although because this is a live CD
environment, the activities will be gone once you reboot.

Let me know if you have any questions.

cheers,
Sameer
