Fedora

Notes: Sebastian Dziallas reports that there is a Sugar spin based on Fedora available here:

http://sdz.fedorapeople.org/olpc/sugar-spin.iso

With this spin, you'll be able to run Sugar, which is developed by Sugarlabs and the desktop environment used on the OLPC, directly from a Live CD! You'll find several activities on the image including most notably...

  • sugar-browse - a web browsing activity based on xulrunner
  • sugar-write - a word processor based on abiword

...among with several other applications introducing e.g. chat support.

The OLPC SIG, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might be installed using yum install sugar-* at a later time.

The SHA1 checksum is, if you're interested:

f032ab45aa116c2728dcd2d676e29a5ee114fd1d sugar-spin.iso

What if you wanted to put it quickly onto your USB Key? You'll just need to grab Luke Macken's liveusb-creator, which already includes support for the Sugar Spin. Here's the link:

Thank you everybody, who made this possible!
