Ubuntu based distributions

It is Recommended to look at Trisquel for another solution

Trisquel is Ubuntu based and works well. (Trisquel 4.1 is based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Trisquel 5, on Ubuntu 11.04.)

Sugar Desktop 0.90.1 on Ubuntu 11.10

NOTE: This version uses the old Sugar 0.90. Collaboration is broken

Install package 'sucrose-0.90' with apt or Ubuntu Software Center.
Only comes with pippy and turtleart
You'll need to install the remaining individual activities by downloading them from http://activities.sugarlabs.org/ and installing each within a terminal:

sugar-install-bundle activity.xo

To turn off screensaver and power management:

terminal:
xset s off
xset -dpms
