+Since I seem to have unintentionally started a Linux theme day here on Compiler we'll just keep rolling with it. According to a post I ran across on [Digg][8], the Linux-based Sugar OS which was designed for the [One Laptop Per Child project][6] (OLPC), is now [available as a live CD][1].
+
+Bear in mind that the Sugar OS ISO in its current incarnation is alpha, i.e. not guaranteed to work on your machine.
+
+I managed to track down some screenshots on [Linux Questions][2] which show the Sugar OS in action. Keep in mind that not only is this distro in the alpha release stage, but the OS is designed to be used by children (screenshots after the jump).
+
+According to a blog post I found from [one of the Sugar developers][3] the current ISO image linked above weighs in at only 291Megs, which puts it down in a league similar to Damn Small Linux which we [mentioned last week][7]. Although Damn Small is on 50MB and thus more compact, Sugar is still giving it a run for it's money.
+
+If you interested in working with and contributing to the Sugar OS project have a look at some of the [articles][4] that Red Hat Magazine has been running. There are a couple tutorials for those that would like to get started with building apps for Sugar.
+
+For more general info on Sugar be sure to [check out the wiki][5] (which as of this writing is down, probably due to the Digg effect).
