Add all supported distros
Sugar on XOs runs on Fedora Linux. There are also Sugar packages for a number of [[Supported systems|other Linux distributions]]. When Sugar is packaged for a new distribution, please add the bug tracker for that system to this page, along with a link to information on how to use it.

Please try to reproduce the bug in a [http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora standard Fedora installation], or in a [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD Fedora Live CD], because many Fedora package maintainers might be unfamiliar with Sugar. In many cases, you can get along by setting up a VM in QEMU.

For hardware related bugs, the output of <tt>dmesg</tt> and <tt>lsmod</tt> is useful information to attach. For networking bugs, <tt>iwconfig</tt> and <tt>ifconfig</tt> usually provide interesting output.

About [http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting.en.html Debian Bug Tracking System] (BTS)
We strongly recommend that you report bugs in Debian using the reportbug program. To install and start it, simply run:

It will guide you through the bug reporting process step by step.
If you have questions that the interactive prompts of reportbug do not resolve, you can refer to the rest of the documentation at the link above, or ask the [http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ Debian user mailing list].

[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad Ubuntu Bug Squad]
Ubuntu uses the apport/ubuntu-bug program to gather data on software problems and report bugs. Usage is
apport-bug <package name>
for non-running programs, and
apport-bug <pid>
for running programs. See
apport-bug --help
for other options.

==Slackware==
From [http://www.tuxradar.com/content/slackware-made-easy Slackware made easy]:
For most of its history, since the first release in 1993, Slackware has been largely the work of one developer: California-based 42-year-old Patrick Volkerding. Pat had some assistance from other paid developers in the distro's earlier days, but now he's a one-man band - albeit with the help of bug reports and patches from the community - and uses sales of Slackware boxed sets to fund his work on the distro.
An affable chap with a quirky sense of humour, Pat's down-to-earth geekness puts many long-time Linuxers at ease. Got a question? Try Pat. Got a suggestion? Try Pat. Want to file a bug report? Try Pat. Don't worry about mailing lists, project leaders and Bugzilla accounts - Pat's your man. Indeed, he's known as The Man in Slackware circles.
Pat says that he may be reached via email at: volkerdi at slackware dot com
==Distro QA==
If you are willing to do systematic testing of packages in a particular distribution at each package release or upgrade and each distro upgrade, please add your name and data here, and e-mail [mailto:mokurai@sugarlabs.org Mokurai]. This does not entail a commitment to test every version of every package in the [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/ Sugar Labs Activity repository], just the packages included with your chosen distribution.
