Hi Joseph, Installing the latest Ubuntu is really tooo easy. You start your winblows, then insert the CD and run the installer. It installs itself *inside* windows, so no repartitioning necessary. Will take you about 30 minutes. (uninstalling is about 2 minutes, i found)
I only ran the liveCD inside a Kubuntu host, which is nice for playing around and demo purposes. I am curious to see how well the ubuntu .deb packages behave. If that is a plain sudo apt-get install sugar That would be pretty awesome. BTW, if you are going to install multiple machines, you might want to have a look at the apt-cacher package. You can make 1 of your machines cache the .deb files, which makes updating the others in the network a *real* fast job. We did the latest distro upgrade that way (including some pretty hefty games), and we really only downloaded each package once. Very handy. rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net On Thursday 22 May 2008 10:10:26 joseph mpora wrote: > Am thinking of setting up Sugar > (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/The_OLPC_Wiki), the olpc interface, on some > of the computers here at school during the long summer holiday. > > There seems to be some active development on getting Sugar on Ubuntu > (http://janimo.blogspot.com/search/label/olpc), unfortunately that > means installing ubuntu first (not entirely a bad thing but means more > time setting things up). > > Am sure if I wait a couple of months someone will soon make a distro > with Sugar as the main interface.
