This is also a way to expose them to the values of free and open software early on rather than the consumption-based experiences found on commercial operating systems. With Sugar on a Stick, you can let a kid temporarily use any computer in the house without fully designating a PC for the job. The team actively encourages this and has created a version of Sugar with this in mind known as Sugar on a Stick. FAT32, or File Allocation Table 32, is the file system that typically comes preinstalled on a USB drive. While you have the option to install Sugar directly to a hard drive, you can also run a copy as a live Linux USB desktop. Linux can also handle NTFS, and MacOS reads it but needs third party tools to write, so even if you are not in a Windows only environment, it’s still a good choice.
Aspects of the interface can function peer-to-peer and do not require an internet connection at all. Sugar developers design the software for use in areas where ubiquitous broadband can not be taken for granted. Sugar began as part of the One Laptop Per Child project, but Sugar Labs has since found a home as a member project of the Software Freedom Conservancy. The goal is to provide an experience that fosters collaboration, reflection, and discovery.
Sugar is a free software project built with kids in mind.
