-===The Sugar stack===
-Sugar is implemented on top of existing or modified operating systems and hardware. Sugar Activities ("Sugar-enhanced applications") are accessed by the user from the Sugar platform. Many Activities, such as Browse, take advantage of library collections. Some collections are included with Sugar; others may be installed from the Web or created locally.
-The layers in a Sugar system are:
-* Library Collections (e.g., for the Browse Activity)
-* Sugar Activities
-* Sugar
-* Operating System
-* Computer Hardware
