Fedora - Sugar Labs

Fedora 13

The Sugar Learning Environment is packaged in Fedora 13.

From the System -> Administration -> Add/Remove Software menu, search for Sugar.
Among all the packaged Activities select,

The emulator for the Sugar Learning Environment
sugar-emulator-0.88.1-1.fc13 (no arch)

and any or all of the Activities.

Sugar will be available in your Applications -> Education menu.

Sugar will run in a Xephyr window within your current environment. You will have full access to the Sugar features, and may even run multiple instances to simulate a local collaboration group.

Adjust the default window size for Sugar by editing the menu item for Sugar to
/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 1200x900

to match the XO screen proportions

/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 600x500

fits the screen for a 10-inch netbook

You may also collaborate with others in the jabber.sugarlabs.org server Neighborhood (Press <F1> to see the Neighborhood view.)
