			===Sugar Programs===
			I am very familiar with Linux and I am trying to find something for my 7 year old to get stated on. There are many great things that are offered here but a few I have questions about Sugar.<br />

			1. I am downloading programs that are not from the activity page or git-hub that he likes to play I have to go in to the terminal and manually run the program, is there away to make an icon for this.<br />

			2. The browser based off of Mozilla Firefox is stripped down to much I installed Firefox and ran from the command line and I could finally view the videos. With the way you have it now you can not view videos it crashes and I think it would be cool if you could provide a kid friendly web browser. KidOz K2 was on to something there that would work great with Sugar Labs.

	Does Sugar support Android?		Does Sugar support Android?

 The links in the section "Does Sugar run on an ASUS Eee PC (or other "ultra-mobile" or "mini" PCs)?" are both dead. I'm afraid I don't know where they should be pointing, and I'm a bit reluctant to delete the question since I'm just a random visitor. Does anybody have current links to the referred to resources?

	~~=== Create a new User ===~~
	I installed the VirtualBox applicance version (Fedora13) and I have no idea how to create a new user. I set it up for myself and want to have the rest of the family play with their own accounts. Not sure if this is something I need to do in fedora or in Sugar. I found some tutorials mentioning "Open the Terminal App" - which I also have no idea how to do. It doesn't look like the terminal app/activity installed.

	:Sugar itself only lets you define one user. There may be a way to have multiple VB instances, each of which would be a unique user. Terminal most likely is not showing up in the Home View circle because it is not "starred" in the List View. (There are buttons at the upper right of the Home View that let you switch between these two views.) But I don't know of any recommended way to switch users from Terminal. --walter

	_I believe this question is distinct from the one below_ Installed Sugar Bluberry on two nearly identical netbooks.

I tried creating my own xorg.conf (this build includes an X that automates settings detection i take it). However, I just keep bricking the netbook and reinstalling Sugar... Should I just keep trying new xorg.conf's?		_I believe this question is distinct from the one below_ Installed Sugar Bluberry on two nearly identical netbooks.
