=== XUbuntu Gutsy LiveCD === |
|||
A [http://startx.ro/sugar/ XUbuntu LiveCD] with the Sugar Ubuntu package (with installation capability and launch-from-USB-key). Allows you to run Sugar directly on the hardware with an XUbuntu environment as well. |
|||
=== Pilgrim Fedora LiveCD === |
|||
A [http://gregdek.livejournal.com/19843.html Fedora Pilgrim LiveCD] with the official image pre-downloaded and configured to run in Qemu with KQemu. Allows you to run the image from the standard Fedora desktop inside an emulator. |

* Description: [http://livebackup.sourceforge.net/ LiveBackup] based version of an official OLPC image |

These LiveCDs allow you to convert a "regular" machine into a Sugar-running machine without touching the hard disk of the machine. This allows you to play with and test how the software runs with your hardware. It also lets you demonstrate and potentially test your software (at full speed). |
|||
It is also possible to use this type of LiveCD to create a "virtual Sugar lab" for a school, where a traditional computer lab's computers are booted into a Sugar environment, storing their data on a networked or other storage device, without changing the lab's installed software. |

In the past, OLPC and the community produced Live CDs, allowing OLPC's "Sugar" interface to be run on "regular computers" without making any permanent changes to the system. Today, Sugar is developed as a generic project and is available in various different live media forms, see Sugar Labs Downloads.
Information regarding old LiveCD projects based around very old OLPC software releases can be found at LiveCd/Historical.
