emulation. Once Sugar is ready to be used full-time, LiveCDs and other
methods should let you run it easily without emulation. In the meantime,
you can run Sugar itself without emulation if you build it yourself, and
we provide tools for that.
I was glad to see in the OLPC news (2007-02-11) that:
 "7. Jeremy Lueck has built the "$10 Laptop" by putting a Linux OS image running Sugar on a USB stick. Porting to a virtual machine allows the Sugar OS software to be run on any hardware that supports the virtual machine: Moka5's LivePC engine. (See http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Virtualized_Sugar for details)."
 
Maybe a future development will be a $25 USB stick with the 
Linux OS image and a radio to give an existing PC mesh wireless 
capabilities in addition to the Sugar interface and applications.
