ust in case anybody is interested .. Moodle is part of the OLPC school servers deployed with the OLPC rollouts in third world counties. Very cool move described by Edward Cherlin below. It is part of a some interesting (although volumous) set of discussions on the IAEP list that talk about the OLPC project and Sugar, the software that runs on the OLPC computes. Currently I am discussing how to best run Sugar inside Virtual Box. :-)<br>

</div>Yes, that has been our plan. I used Moodle as a student at Presidio<br>
School of Management. While it does not do everything we want, it is<br>
excellent in what it does provide. We will work with the developers on<br>
further improvements, and invite any educators who are interested in<br>
our approach to join in.<br>
