This is a quick guide to the locations of various forms of Sugar software that can run in QEMU emulation or VMware or VirtualBox virtualization.

You can download installation images (.iso files) for Linux distributions that support Sugar and create your own bootable images with Sugar installed.

See VirtualBox, VMware, or QEMU for more information on how to run an image, and Supported systems for more information on which operating systems support Sugar.

VirtualBox

Download: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html

VirtualBox-4.0 is OSE version until you add: Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack
Support for Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, and GNU/Linux
VMware Workstation xxx.vmdk hard disks will work as "existing disks" in VirtualBox.
VirtualBox Manual
VBoxManage command line tool for VirtualBox for advanced users

Importing VM:

Mac OS X: "File" -> "Import Apppliance..." + "open appliance"... + select the .ovf file.

Pre-assembled virtual machines For the latest, see the following pages:

Installing VirtualBox in F21

files to download

Details of the install

Some Suggestions on Using VirtualBox

Export your appliances to an external USB hard disk
This functions like the Mac Application "Time Machine"

Save each exported Appliance in a folder marked with the name and date of export.
You can then import this Appliance to restore the state of the Appliance on that date.

Run an Existing VirtualBox Appliance from an external USB Hard Drive
Portable, Individual Copy for Student, Move between separate Computers.
1. copy-paste the xxxx.vmdk file from /(User)/Virtualbox/HardDisks/xxxx.vmdk to a Folder on an external USB HD
2. Menu: Machine>New>continue>Name>Operating System>Version/Memory/Continue>Use existing hard disk>[chose xxxx.vmdk on an External USB HD]> Start.

Note Running from a USB Memory Stick Crawls, VERY slowly - not practical.

Testing of appliance running from an external USB Hard Disk

Appears to depend on the Speed of the Host Machine: (needs farther testing)

Very Slow - Fedora-13-Soas/VB 3.2.12 on Windows XP SP2/ EeePC 1000HE 12/26/2010 satellit
Very Slow - Trisquel-3-sugar/VB 3.2.12 on Windows XP SP2/ EeePC 1000HE 12/26/2010 satellit
Acceptable- Fedora-13-Soas/VB 4.0 on Ubuntu 10.10 /hp Pavillion Turion 64x2 laptop 12/26/2010 satellit
