I finally got Sugar (the front-end for the OLPC) running on my laptop. I say finally not because it was particularly difficult (it’s just a few steps to get it running on ubuntu) but because I thought it made sense to do a bunch of other things first: buy an external hard drive, backup all my stuff, and install Fedora on my old laptop.
In the end, all I needed to do was upgrade my new laptop from Ubuntu 5.10 to Ubuntu 6.04, which was 100% painless, and then install git, which was equally painless.
Lesson learned: I really need to keep Ubuntu up to date if I want to keep up with the Joneses. Obligatory screenshot:
