On a related note... The open embedded[1] guys are making good progress
on porting Sugar to the open embedded platform.  In particular the
effort is being driven by the desire to run sugar on the Beagleboard[2].

A project that would make the transition from a turtle cursor, in turtle
art, to a little robotic turtle zipping around around the room would be
very cool.
