I would definitely encourage that. I'm not the one to answer the 
questions what amount of work it would take to do so, but you are 
perfectly right with what you are saying about the future of OLPC. I 
would like to have a list of the distributions we would like/should 
support so that we can figure out our current status regarding it. So we 
have Debian and Fedora, for the start? About Fedora we are in contact 
with Gavin Romig-Koch.
What else would you recommend?

Best Regards,
