Interesting report in which experimenters install Sugar (the operating system used by the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project) on an Intel Classmate 2 computer. The anonymous 'Guest Writer' reports, "I have been already "ported" Sugar to the Intel Classmate 1. Back then I was quite disappointed with Intel. I did not do any precise tests but it just felt s.l.o.w. ... But.. Hey! On the other hand: this small device is for the first time totally usable! It is fast, compared to the others. There is a dramatic speed improvement compared to the Classmate 1. Would I buy the Classmate 1 for kids? No. Would I buy the Classmate 2? Yes."
