Summary
You have an Ubuntu system and you wish to try Sugar?
As of 2012-02, Ubuntu does not have a stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories. Until this is fixed, your choices are:
- use the unstable version 0.90 of Sugar, using the Ubuntu repositories,
- use Sweets on Ubuntu,
- switch to the Trisquel distribution,
- switch to some other distribution,
- use a virtual appliance, or;
- install from Sugar source.
Introduction
We provide two kinds of information in this page.
- Existing Ubuntu-based Sugar Spins. A Sugar Spin is a Linux distribution which uses Sugar as its default desktop environment.
- How to install Sugar for your Ubuntu desktop. It is dependent on your Ubuntu's release version and the Sugar version you are going to install.
