Fedora

Notes: Sebastian Dziallas reports that there is a Sugar spin based on Fedora available here:

http://download.sugarlabs.org/sugar/liveimages/fedora-sugar-spin/fedora-sugar-spin-0.82-i686.iso

Alternatively, you might want to refer to this, which is in fact the same image, just on another location:

http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/olpc/0.82/i686/sugar-spin.iso

Please be aware of the fact that the link above has changed recently - the old one won't work anymore! For more information, please see this post: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-olpc-list/2008-November/msg00003.html

With this spin, you'll be able to run Sugar, which is developed by Sugarlabs and the desktop environment used on the OLPC, directly from a Live CD! You'll find several activities on the image including most notably...

• sugar-browse - a web browsing activity based on xulrunner
• sugar-write - a word processor based on abiword

...among with several other applications introducing e.g. chat support.

The OLPC SIG, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might be installed using yum install sugar-* at a later time.

The SHA1 checksum is, if you're interested:

f032ab45aa116c2728dcd2d676e29a5ee114fd1d sugar-spin.iso

What if you wanted to put it quickly onto your USB Key? You'll just need to grab Luke Macken's liveusb-creator, which already includes support for the Sugar Spin. Here's the link:

https://fedorahosted.org/releases/l/i/liveusb-creator/liveusb-creator-3.0.zip

The liveusb-creator still contains the old link, which is the reason why you'll need to download the spin manually until this gets fixed.

Thank you everybody, who made this possible!
