Fedora
Desktop environment
Gnome (default)
Sugar on a Stick
With this spin, you'll be able to run Sugar, which is developed by Sugar Labs and is the desktop environment used on the OLPC, directly from a Live CD or Live USB!
- See our Sugar on a Stick page, in particular, Full F11 Sugar Desktop (Xfce/Sugar on a 4-GB USB device).
Make you own custom Fedora F11/12 Install or Live DVD/CD's
- f11 will build 0.84.x Sugar
- f12 will build 0.86.x Sugar *(does not see USB in frame when inserted as vdi)
- In Terminal:
yum install revisor yum install kickstart
- start kickstart and follow instructions/ save the kickstart file
- Sugar Desktop is one of the selections offered.
- Hint: select Gnome desktop and then deselect it if you do not want it (this sets graphical dependencies like X for you)
- start revisor select DVD-CD 0r Live / select your KS.cfg (in you /home/(user) directory) / select options and start.
- takes about 1-2 hrs to build .iso files
- Important: copy completed .iso files from /srv/revisor/f11(12) i386/*** subdirectories; and paste them onto your Desktop.
- burn DVD/CD .iso and use it in VMworkstation or Virtualbox to test; or use to install to USB/SD or your Hard-Disk (with Anaconda in your new DVD/CD)

Fedora OLPC
The Fedora OLPC SIG, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OLPC, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might later be installed using
yum install sugar-*
- Here's a video of the process http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKmrtlyyCFo
- CJB suggests: as root, run: yum -y groupinstall "Sugar Desktop Environment"
The command to run Sugar is as root otherwise you may get this behavior.
sugar-emulator
