Usage Information

I've downloaded and ran the OLPC LivePC. Seems fine. However, I stumbling around with the icons and don't really know how to use it. Is there any documentation for this? The OS doesn't seem that impressive. I also don't have any sound. Maybe putting some usage documentation in the browser might help.

I took another look at this LivePC and still can't figure out how to use it. I know a lot of people involved with Linux Journal and some of my friends on the reader advisory panel bought OLPC devices, including the hardware. I was going to suggest to them that these LivePCs would be a great way to test out a number of different Linux distros, including the OLPC distro and other Linux distros. However, I think they might get frustrated with this OLPC LivePC. Unless I'm missing something. Is anyone using this LivePC and having a good time with it?

I think Sugar (the operating system for the OLPC) is a good example of something kids can pick up quickly but baffles adults. I haven't figured out most of the options :-).
Here's a Youtube video I did highlighting OLPC:
Someone pointed out the application I showcased was not actually a drawing problem but a programming environment. Go figure :-).
