Download locations

  • download via bittorrent
    http://www.legaltorrents.com/torrents/599-sugar-on-a-stick
  • or from one of the following locations.
    When downloading, please pick a download server that is close to your current location.
    (The download is a CD-ROM disc image .iso file (380 MiB) that could be burned to a blank CD and booted as a LiveCD to demonstrate Sugar—but no work or changes will be saved after shutdown.)
Location Link
U.S.A. master http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-1-strawberry.iso
Europe mirror http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/software/sugarlabs/soas/releases/soas-strawberry.iso
Netherlands mirror http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Sugar/soas/releases/soas-strawberry.iso
for the latest experimental builds

Remember, these are alpha quality—that means unstable and likely to frustrate all but developers and development testers. http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/3/

The '3' series of SoaS snapshots refers to the third Fedora version of SoaS (1 = Fedora 10, 2 = Fedora 11, 3 = Fedora 12).

Confirming a proper download

A SHA hash is used to determine if the file downloaded properly. The SHA1SUM hash __only__ for the Strawberry iso is:

41b08c93a65cc1e38286b9f8980f51528a36761d

You can check the SHA1SUM from the GNU/Linux shell:

sha1sum soas-strawberry.iso

If the hash matches the number above, then you can be reasonably sure that the file downloaded properly. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2q7l7Npb0s
