===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 />

~~=== Create a new User ===~~

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 />

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~~

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.

===Android===

Does Sugar support Android?

: Not at this time, although there are some developers working to change that situation. See this [http://www.mail-archive.com/iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg13765.html mailing list thread]. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 23:31, 17 January 2013 (EST)
