Yes, But the applications targeted at school students. Everythingneed.In the last few weeks, in the various ILUG mailing lists, there has
been discussion on "School OS" [1] (Ubuntu based) which I believe has
been developed under the aegis of NCERT (I hope I got that right).
Rather than create yet another distro - it might be worthwhile
concentrating efforts on improving and extending what is already
there.
AFAIK, School OS does not include sugar desktop and activities. The OP is
looking at creating a distro based on sugar to meet the local people's
Sugar interface is fine but it is essentially a Window Manager [1] and
IIRC it is available for Fedora.
Why can it not be ported/extended to the SchoolOS distro which isI request you to try out the LIVE version of Sugar OS. So that you will come
based on Ubuntu? There is already some effort on the way [2].
What I am suggesting is look for convergence between the various
efforts and effective use of resources (limited).
