Ubuntu

It is Recommended to look at Trisquel for another solution

Trisquel is Ubuntu based and works well. (Trisquel 4 and 4.1 is based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Trisquel 4.5, on Ubuntu 10.10.)

11.04 has replaced Gnome with the Unity interface plus sugar 0.88.1

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Talk:Community/Distributions/Trisquel#Install_Sugar_0.88.1x_on_Trisquel_5.0

You then can install the applications you need from ASLO: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/

Works fine. Tested on a new install 07/31/2011

suggestion choose "Ubuntu classic" from gdm log-in switcher. (This gives Classic Gnome Desktop)

Everything works on all of these options, including wireless.
