Sugar in Edubuntu 11.04

[David Van Assche]

Out of curiosity, what's missing that would make it usable. If its activity
packages, then that could be remedied by packaging, which is relatively
straight forward and would require choosing which activities should be
bundled for edubuntu sugar. Other distros seem to be quite subjective when
choosing what's bundled, although it would be easy enough to replicate
what's available from either Fedora or openSUSE.

The quitting option is also just a little code hack to get logout to exit
properly.

I'd be happy to help with both of these, if there is real interest in having
Sugar distributed on edubuntu.

kind regards,
David Van Assche
