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.
