I see a working [[Sugar on a Stick]] as a good target for a novice user.

=== Buy vs Build ===
'''Note:''' If this is going to be your first attempt at running Sugar, you might take the advice "buy rather than build". For purchase information for Sugar pre-installed on a bootable USB flash drive, see [[Sugar Creation Kit#Commercial source of SoaS-loaded media]].
Not that I want to discourage people from buying, but I am not 100% sure about this paragraph. It seems that making the USB key is the (relatively) easy part. Configuring the bias for launch is the hard part. (The other hard part is sorting out from all the choices which version to run -- which would not be made any easier if you purchase.) --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 09:26, 2 December 2011 (EST)
:I would like to include a paragraph discussing '''older versions'''. Why would one choose '''not''' to use the latest version? --[[User:Inkyfingers|Inkyfingers]] 09:38, 2 December 2011 (EST)
:: Older SoaS versions may be more compatible with some activities or XO-1;XO-1.5 software. See:[[Features/Soas_V4/ASLOxo_Activity_Test_Table#Activity_Test_Results|Activity_Test_Results]] (this has NOT been updated lately)
::: Good point, but a newcomer can find that out later. My question stands. --[[User:Inkyfingers|Inkyfingers]] 08:53, 3 December 2011 (EST)
:: We should remember that [[Getting Started]] applies to all Sugar learners. Older Sugar on a Stick versions should be discussed on the Sugar on a Stick page for those that may have a special need to use one of them. But I agree, we should focus newcomers to the current stable version. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 16:14, 6 December 2011 (EST)
