This is a set of repositories with native packages that compose [[Harmonic_Distribution/Software|Basic software]] of [[Harmonic Distribution]] effort.
+
This is a set of 3rd party repositories with Sugar Learning Platform packages for major GNU/Linux [[Sweets_Distribution/Supported_platforms|distributions]].  
   −
This is a special, Sugar only, distribution. These are the key points that make the Sweets Distribution different from other [[:Category:Supported systems|Distributions]]:
+
The major reasons to support all these repositories are:
   −
* The Sweets Distribution is formed as a 3rd party repository, i.e., it is not a complete GNU/Linux distribution;
+
* Let people to try new functionality which is not available from the regular sources;
* It supports [[Sweets_Distribution/Supported_platforms|several]] GNU/Linux distributions, and their releases, at the same time;
+
* Support GNU/Linux distributions that lack of Sugar Learning Platform from official repositories;
* Packages from these repositories do not interfere with the rest of the system, e.g., it is possible to use Sugar from the Sweets Distribution and Sugar from official repositories at the same time.
+
* Bring recent Sugar Learning Platform releases to systems with outdated official packages.

Repositories are identified by names and might be in stable or development stage. Different repositories might be available on different platforms from the Harmonic Distribution [[Sweets_Distribution/Supported_platforms|supported platforms list]].
