Squeak in Debian and Fedora

pushing etoys through the standard linux distributions.
 

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?

Due to the recent downsizing at OLPC, OLPC will no longer be creating
a custom XOos.  Instead, XOos will be a near standard Fedora
distribution, shipped by Fedora, running sugar as the desktop.  As
such we would like to see etoys distributed as standard rpms and debs.

I think most of the hard work is done.  All of the code origin is
known.  Both Debian and Fedora have agreed in theory to package self
compiling VMs.
