OLPC - One Laptop per Child

Last year I heard the first time of OLPC. The One Laptop per Child project of Mr. Nicholas Negroponte. Getting the the development environment for OLPC Sugar up and running wasn't an easy task. With much luck I got Sugar on my Ubuntu system. Sugar is the user interface of OLPC laptop. As a first program I started to write a Wordsearch game for OLPC. It is still unfinished and at the moment my Sugar development environment is broken. I couldn't make it run again and had given up for now.

A colleague of mine bought an OLPC laptop through the give 1 get one which arrived earlier this january. Here's a size comparison with a Panasonic R4

Wordsearch isn't running as expected on that machine, the develompent version and the version on OLPC laptop are different.
