Ubuntu

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
