Trick: install to an usb external HD then you can boot from it and have
multiple OS's with sugar.
That is what I do here on my ACER ASPIRE ONE N450

Hi Tom,
I hope I have a quick question: Can you send me a link to "the best Sugar
dist. to install on my netbook"?
I am also a G1G1 enthusiast who bought 2 sets so I could interact with my
son's XO-1. My son's successful exploration of the XO-1 (Sugar) has really
inspired me to continue with him, but the XO-1 is too slow (!). So I want to
continue with a netbook I'm no longer using (Acer Aspire One with 80GB
disk). I don't want an -on-a-stick method, but would rather install to the
hard disk (which will only be used for Sugar). I tried Bluberry-on-a-stick
and Mango Lassi(Fedora) on the HD without satisfaction. I noticed you
recently recommended Triquel on the SOAS list.
My goal: lots of activities, easy maintenance, robust and stable.
Any hints (links!) would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Karl Beykirch
