- The snapshots subfolder number now matches the release lineage version number. Before 04 October 2009 it referred to the Fedora version since the original SoaS (1 = Fedora 10, 2 = Fedora 11, 3 = Fedora 12), but the subfolders have be repurposed (the filenames, e.g., Soas2-YYYYMMDDHHMM.iso, still bear the original series number code).
Remove openSuSE section?
I haven't wanted to remove the openSuSE section because I'm loathe to start another flamewar, but it seems out of place: the page says "This page helps you to put your Sugar on a Stick image on a USB flash drive under Linux.", but the openSuSE section isn't about this. The openSuSE SoaS image is already on the Sugar on a Stick page along with all the other images.
As the openSuSE section is not about how to put a .iso onto a removable drive, does anyone object to it being removed?
No this page is not about how to put an .iso on a removable drive, but how to run sugar-desktop on removable USB/SD drives in Linux. The openSUSE version is a .raw image that is burned to a stick by the dd command. It creates a usb stick that boots sugar-desktop with 55 applications. It is a valid way to access sugar and its applications. I personally think that it belongs here. [satellit 08/02/2009]
