Install the Remote Desktop packages:

sudo apt install xrdp rdesktop

Create a user for Sugar:

echo sugar >> /home/sugar/.xsession

Start a session:

rdesktop -g 1200x900 -u sugar -p sugar 0

Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial LTS

Organisations that require Ubuntu 16.04 support for Sugar may consider getting involved in the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates process.
