See below for a collection of Live USB Sugar distributions

Sugar on a Stick is the main Sugar Labs project page.

See Project Principles and Sugar on a Stick/Resources for a description of the technical and educational goals of the project.

Live USB distributions

• Sugar on a Stick is a Fedora-based LiveOS image installation.
• openSUSE-Sugar-Live [1] (dd to USB/SD), to install on hard disk, add "liveinstall" at the boot menu.

• Live_USB_stick

• openSUSE-Edu-live-Li-f-e (Server)
• Education-Li-f-e
• with Sugar (dd to 4GB USB/SD)
• cliced-hybrids

• Fedora 12 fedora:Education_Spin

  (dd to USB/SD [no persistence] or liveinst from root terminal [persistent]) Live USB of Gnome and Sugar Desktops

Notes

1. f12 and opensuse-edu now distribute a dual mode live.iso of Sugar-Desktop which boots into sugar as a CD or can be used to dd write to a USB/SD "stick". (Persistence is a work in progress on these.) Sugar on a Stick/Linux/openSUSE, [7], [8], [9]
2. Sugar from multiple distros is available [10] as a VMware Player or Virtualbox "Appliance", which can be stored on a USB/SD "Stick", and thus is transportable with (persistence) from PC to PC.
3. There are "full installs" (non-compressed file structure) of Sugar, Sugar+Gnome, and Sugar+KDE on larger (4-GB+) USB Sticks, which are available for download [11] in compressed form, which can be expanded and written to a bootable USB/SD device with a dd command in several minutes.
4. most live f12-f13 distros can be installed as a full install to HD/USB/SD. This requires a 4GB USB/SD for Blueberry v2, Mirabelle v3' or 8GB USB/SD for Gnome-sugar [12] Use command "livinst" in root terminal. These produce a normal install with Persistence.

Trisquel notes

from Rubén Rodríguez Pérez on SoaS list:

• Trisquel-Edu (Live USB)
• Trisquel-Sugar 3.0 RC (has usb-creator available as command in terminal for persistent USB)

I will further explain the differences:

1. We are including the Sugar packages in both our 2.2 LTS version (where you can find the Trisquel Edu edition), and in our new 3.0 STS version. All our live Sugar images will be based on the STS one, as it will provide better hardware support.
2. Trisquel Edu, which is a GNOME based educational system, can run Sugar as an alternate environment, or serve it via LTSP. The Edu edition (like the Pro one) is only available in the 2.2 LTS version of the distro. It will be the recommended version for large Sugar-on-Trisquel deployments.
