====Download locations====


The download is a CD-ROM disc image .iso file (380 MiB), which could be burned to a blank CD, and booted as a [[wikipedia:Live CD|Live CD]] to demonstrate Sugar (while no work or changes will be saved after shutdown). When the image is loaded to a USB storage device, it can be used to boot a computer into the Sugar environment and save one's work on the USB key without touching the computer's hard disc.

====Confirming a proper download====
==SoaS v4 Mango Lassi (Fedora 14)==
<span class="linkgroup">[[File:Download Mirabell.png|link=http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/spins/linux/releases/14/Spins/i686/Fedora-14-i686-Live-SoaS.iso]] i686</span>


A SHA hash is used to determine if the file downloaded properly. The SHA1SUM hash ''only'' for the Strawberry release is:
<span class="linkgroup">[[File:Download Mirabell.png|link=http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/spins/linux/releases/14/Spins/x86_64/Fedora-14-i686-Live-SoaS.iso]] x86_64</span>
41b08c93a65cc1e38286b9f8980f51528a36761d


You can check the SHA1SUM from the GNU/Linux shell:
sha1sum {{SoaS release image}}


If the hash matches the number above, then you can be reasonably sure that the file downloaded properly.
