Hi everybody,

I'm proud to be announce the availability of our Fedora Sugar Spin, which incorporates the Sugar Desktop Environment on a Fedora Live CD. So, what is this in specific? With this spin, you'll be able to run Sugar, which is developed by Sugarlabs and the desktop environment used on the OLPC, directly from a Live CD! You'll find several activities on the image including most notably... 
* sugar-browse - a web browsing activity based on xulrunner
* sugar-write - a word processor based on abiword

...among with several other applications introducing e.g. chat support.

We, the OLPC SIG, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might be installed using 'yum install sugar-*' at a later time. 
Where can you get it? Easily, here:

Here's the SHA1 checksum, just if you're interested:

And what if you wanted to put it quickly onto your USB Key? Even easier! You'll just need to grab Luke Macken's liveusb-creator, which already includes support for the Sugar Spin. Here's the link:

Thank you everybody, who made this possible!

The above announcement means if you want to try OLPC Desktop Enviromentyou can try it through Fedora Live CD with Sugar Spin.

All what you need to do, is to make your web browser distinguish itself as Google Bot All of us have seen Google returns search results that lead to sites that require a registeration ?, How googlebot index the site without a registration ? Many sites want their site indexed in google to recieve more hits and thus, make more money with advertisment on their site. Even more interesting is the following question: How do we use this to our advantage ? It is Simple , we need to disguise ourselfs as the googlebot, many sites will let you in without authentication/registration. The parameter we have to change is called the User Agent. The user agent defines the browser and version that you use. For example it would show Internet Explorer as your browser if you are using this one. You need to alter your Browser settings to t
