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.)

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

Ubuntu 10.10 for PowerPC

UbuntuSugarRemix

As of December 2009, We started a total refactoring of how Sugar is packaged in Ubuntu.

The USR project does not seem to be active anymore (satellit 07/04/2011)

Please See the Ubuntu Sugar Remix https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sugar for the latest information.

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.

from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sugar web page :

Sugar-0.88 on Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic)

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


Sugar-0.84 on Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy)

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/ubuntu hardy main >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sugar-platform

ejabberd collaboration server on Ubuntu

We use ejabberd for a collaboration server. Ubuntu 8.10 ships with the required patches included in ejabberd, so you can install ejabberd, configure it and have working collaboration within minutes, using these installation instructions: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Installing_ejabberd/deb

For Ubuntu 8.04 you need to build from source: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Installing_ejabberd
