I made some change to http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Advanced_Topics#Sweets_Distribution This section is linked from the Ubuntu page. I think it is slightly more clear now. I do not why the section title was used for the maybe most important link. This confused me at least.

I find that the page is even more confusing... Radical changes have been made by me. I don't touch the instructions for desktop Ubuntu, though. Because I need to do testing. I find that the ubuntu's official repository has multiple version of sucrose

I don't know of one.  Try sucrose-0.90.  Trisquel probably won't have a later version of Sugar than Ubuntu does ... if they did, they would have pushed the work upstream to Ubuntu and Debian. Otherwise, use Sweets.  Have you tried that yet? Testing is not very easy for me. I'm an

Is that really true? I thought Sweets was stable. If so, I see no reason why it shouldn't be listed on the Ubuntu page as Ma Xiaojun suggested. I suspect the real reason it isn't listed is that nobody thought to put it there. On Sun, Feb 26, 2012 at 10:45:00PM -0800, Thomas C Gilliard wrote:
