==Summary==

:Ubuntu educational software
You have an Ubuntu system and you wish to try Sugar?
::https://sourceforge.net/projects/cyberorg-home/files/Li-f-e/
 
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 [[Community/Distributions/Sweets_Distribution|Sweets]] on Ubuntu,
* switch to the [[Community/Distributions/Trisquel|Trisquel distribution]],
* switch to [[Community/Distributions|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.
