Getting Ubuntu Sugar Remix
 
:::from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sugar web page
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.
