This is a quick guide to the locations of various forms of Sugar and the XS school server software that can run in [[QEMU]] emulation. You can download installation .isos for other Linux distributions that support Sugar and create your own bootable images with Sugar installed. See [[QEMU]] for how to run an image, and [[Supported systems]] for more information on what is available.
     −
Most of these images do not include the latest 0.84 release. Some that do have 0.84 have serious [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-vesa/+bug/356133 bugs] that prevent them from running at all, or have [[Sugar on a Stick/Getting Involved/Testing/Soas2-200904231400|Activities that do not run]].

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/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.

* Support for Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, and GNU/Linux

* Various [[Supported systems|Linux distro installation images]], where Sugar can be installed from packages: Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu Intrepid (but not Jaunty so far), ALT Linux, Mandriva, Caixa Mágica, Gentoo, OpenSUSE, Slackware.

 +
====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.

   −
* [http://download.sugarlabs.org/sugar/liveimages/debian-jhbuild/binary.iso binary.iso] 27-Nov-2008. You would do better to install Fedora in an image, and build sugar-jhbuild there. Unfortunately, sugar-jhbuild does not build reliably on Debian-based distibutions.

*'''Testing of appliance running from an external USB Hard Disk

:: Appears to depend on the Speed of the Host Machine: (needs farther testing)
