I'm new here, so I have a newbie question ;-)

loovely - that means new answers :)

The update on Sugar OS mentioned Fedora. So does that mean that Sugar OS will be obtainable if I get the Fedora computer card?

it's actually available by just downloading the sugar "spin" as they call them, and adapting them a bit to run with the 3.4 kernel.... it's not hard. takes an hour or so.

Or is the plan to have a separate Sugar OS card offered in the future?

maaaybe. have to see. when i ran the fedora "spin" it really didn't work too well - i didn't want to say anything, publicly, but also i couldn't find out how to report bugs! we'll see if debian or devuan does any better, soon enough

I have two grand-daughters, and it would be cool to have each with their own Sugar card that they could store their stuff on. (I don't have any real experience with Sugar, but this would be a good opportunity to learn about it and use it.)

honestly after evaluating both Sugar OS and gcompris, gcompris has more programs. they're a leeetle slow on this kind of hardware: i'd also recommend the KDE 3.5 (ok Trinity Desktop) games and educational software: they're great. lilyana (my 7-year-old daughter) enjoys playing hangman, mahjong with me.

there's lots of options basically.
