OK! You (and hopefully us soon) are in business!
The new model differs only in the processor, so your job is not going to be wasted at all. Also the new model is still at the B-boards and with several problems. ( I think they have only ~100 of these machines and still rewiring things around...). Finally the 1mil+ machines out there (your target ) are like the ones you got.
Yes, Sugar is everything Puppy isn't
Slow and cumbersome with a UI aimed at elementary school kids that never saw a computer in their life. However, when you try to build a system that kids will be free to mess with it as much as they want and still will not brake, they can form ad-hoc networks without an AP and still be centrally controlled and secure, you may end-up is such a thing...
Now transforming this elephant with a heart of a Cheetah to a herding dog is a real challenge (I like all 3 animals for what they do)
PS:
Also the XO has a really strange size power input plug that does not match any of the common laptop or other transformer plugs (big story... so will not be stolen etc...)

PS:
The power supply is 100-240V input. You need to buy 2 x$.05 plug adapters to fit the wall plug.So no I have to go out and buy 2x 12V adapters
