Hi everybody, I'm pleased to announce the availability of the Sugar on a Stick v2 Beta Release. This release includes already a preview of the features in the upcoming final release, which is due to November 24 right now. Major updates have been applied and we are now shipping the Fedora 12 Alpha base system as well as the latest Sugar 0.85.3 release. Additionally, we are now shipping the zyx-liveinstalller by default. Please download and test your version of this release from here: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-beta.iso 6db05c91d2bc1a6c4af1044cea2ae0b6d63931af soas-2-beta.iso When placing the image on your USB key, please use either liveusb-creator [1] for Windows or livecd-iso-to-disk [2] for Linux. We are also providing an appliance image for use with VirtualBox, as well as VMware, to allow even Mac users to test Sugar on a Stick [3]. Later in the development cycle, SoaS will also feature specific images the XO. Finally, please note also that we are going to have a test day on SoaS with Fedora QA this Thursday.
