=Daily Builds=
This is a quick guide to the locations of various forms of Sugar software that can run in QEMU emulation or VMware or VirtualBox virtualization.


* [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Joyride Joyride]
You can download installation images (.iso files) for Linux distributions that support Sugar and create your own bootable images with Sugar installed.
* [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rainbow Rainbow]


=Releases=
See [[VirtualBox]], [[VMware]], or [[QEMU]] for more information on how to run an image, and [[Supported systems]] for more information on which operating systems support Sugar.
<!--
      This page is meant to be a brief index to recommended, downloadable images--not a discussion page for their use or features.  For experimental images, please refer readers to the appropriate software page elsewhere.

* [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_LiveCD XS Installer] '''Warning''': If you are not paying attention, this will format your hard drive. Of course, if you boot this in kvd/qemu alongside an empty hard drive image, you probably want it to format your drive image and install the School Server.

=Sugar on a Stick=
* VirtualBox-4.0 is OSE version until you add: [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack]
* Support for Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, and GNU/Linux
* VMware Workstation xxx.vmdk hard disks will work as "existing disks" in VirtualBox.

:[[Fedora_21_VirtualBox | Details of the install]]
====Some Suggestions on Using VirtualBox====
* Export your appliances to an external USB hard disk
*: This functions like the Mac Application "Time Machine"
*: Save each exported Appliance in a folder marked with the name and date of export.
*::You can then import this Appliance to restore the state of the Appliance on that date.
 
*Run an Existing VirtualBox Appliance from an external USB Hard Drive
*::Portable, Individual Copy for Student, Move between separate Computers.
*# copy-paste the xxxx.vmdk file from /(User)/Virtualbox/HardDisks/xxxx.vmdk to a Folder on an external USB HD
*# Menu: Machine>New>continue>Name>Operating System>Version/Memory/Continue>Use existing hard disk>[chose xxxx.vmdk on an External USB HD]> Start.
 
* Note Running from a USB Memory Stick Crawls, VERY slowly - '''not practical'''.
 
*'''Testing of appliance running from an external USB Hard Disk
:: Appears to depend on the Speed of the Host Machine: (needs farther testing)
# Very Slow -  Fedora-13-Soas/VB 3.2.12 on Windows XP SP2/ EeePC 1000HE 12/26/2010  satellit
# Very Slow -  Trisquel-3-sugar/VB 3.2.12 on Windows XP SP2/ EeePC 1000HE 12/26/2010  satellit
# Acceptable-  Fedora-13-Soas/VB 4.0 on Ubuntu 10.10 /hp Pavillion Turion 64x2 laptop  12/26/2010  satellit
