Sugar Labs Alternative to Windows

I wrote several times about the one laptop for every child organization and also about the Asus computer that I plan on buying.... well, it looks like the acceptance of Microsoft as an alternate form of software for the children's computer shook things up at the non profit... now we have Walter Bender opening a new company called Sugar Labs to create content for the new little computer.   I am excited about this.   I have been surfing the internet for interesting software to put on the little Asus computer ...software like Pencil which lets you create animations on a linux system.    

The new little Asus is less than 900 SD or 450 Euros.  A great deal for a little 20gb laptop which connects to the internet and has a built in camera .  Too bad it is ugly, but that can be fixed with some detailing.   Just like a car, we can make a cheap computer look just as beautiful as my Apple (almost).
