Ubuntu
- It is Recommended to look at Trisquel for another solution
- Trisquel is Ubuntu based and works well. (Trisquel 4 and 4.1 is based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Trisquel 4.5, on Ubuntu 10.10.)
- Trisquel 4.5.1-sugar: Trisquel On A Sugar Toast#trisquel-sugar_4.5.1_i686
Sugar-desktop 0.88 on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10
Sweets Distribution
- NEW 02/03/2011 alsroot and satellit
This is Dextrose 2, thus more than just Sugar 0.88, it contains several features that still are not committed to the trunk + bug fixes from 0.90+.
- Install sweets sugar 0.88.1 in Ubuntu-10.04/Trisquel-4.1 and Ubuntu-10.10/Trisquel-4.5

UbuntuSugarRemix
As of December 2009, We started a total refactoring of how Sugar is packaged in Ubuntu.
- The USR project does not seem to be active anymore (satellit 07/04/2011)
- work located here: http://download.sugarlabs.org/usr/
Please See the Ubuntu Sugar Remix https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sugar for the latest information.
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.
