It is Recommended to look at Trisquel for another solution

Trisquel is Ubuntu based and works well. (Trisquel 4 and 4.1 is based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Trisquel 4.5, on Ubuntu 10.10.)

Trisquel 4.5.1-sugar: Trisquel On A Sugar Toast#trisquel-sugar_4.5.1_i686

Sugar-desktop 0.88 on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10

Sweets Distribution

NEW 02/03/2011 alsroot and satellit

This is Dextrose 2, thus more than just Sugar 0.88, it contains several features that still are not committed to the trunk + bug fixes from 0.90+.

Install sweets sugar 0.88.1 in Ubuntu-10.04/Trisquel-4.1 and Ubuntu-10.10/Trisquel-4.5

-The Sugar packages for Ubuntu provide a Sugar environment that is easy to install and can be configured as an X session in gdm or run in a window with sugar-emulator.
-For some people the emulator mode has a serious bug where modifier keys get stuck.  A work around is to disable keyboard repeat.

-'''NOTE''' If 0.86 ppa was used before, you'll have to clean it up (unfortunately 0.86 ppa uses epoch versions and couldn't be used with 0.88 one):
- sudo apt-get remove `dpkg-query -W -f '${package} ${maintainer}\n' | grep alsroot | awk '{print $1}'`
- sudo sed -i '/alsroot.sugar-0.86/d' /etc/apt/sources.list
-To install:
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alsroot/trisquel-edu-3.5
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install sugar-platform
-== Sugar-0.86 on Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) ==
-To install:
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alsroot/sugar-0.86
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install sugar-platform
-== Sugar-0.86 on Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) ==
-Before attaching ppa, load gpg key
- gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv F265806A9BFFF0F4
- gpg --export --armor F265806A9BFFF0F4 | sudo apt-key add -
-Then attach PPA and install entirely Sugar Platform:
- sudo sh -c 'echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/alsroot/trisquel-edu-3/ubuntu jaunty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install sugar-platform
-<!--
-Jaunty, the current Ubuntu release, has Sucrose 0.83 packages synced from [[Community/Distributions/Debian|Debian]].
-Sugar does not work out-of-the-box under Jaunty as of 2009-07-01, although there is a workaround. See the [[Talk:Community/Distributions/Ubuntu|discussion here]] for more information.
