Works fine if you drag-drop surf-115.xo to journal from 2nd usb.

Sugar_Creation_Kit#surf_browser

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)

Tested on an ACER ASPIRE ONE N450 10" Netbook

Everything works on all of these options, including wireless.

To turn off screensaver and power management:

HINT:CAPS lock does not always work in sugar-terminal so use shift key to get lower case.

terminal:
xset s off
xset -dpms
