All information on Sugar is (or should be) available through the Wiki page
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar

Getting Started

    * Installing Sugar (on various platforms)
    * Sugar Instructions, booting and getting started with Sugar

and all of the pages on installing Sugar should be listed at

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:Installing_Sugar

and thus we find, with a bit more poking around,

Developers: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_with_sugar-jhbuild from
source in git.
Bleeding edge: http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~cscott/olpc/streams/,
including joyride and faster
Update-1: http://pilgrim.laptop.org/~pilgrim/olpc/streams/update.1/
Stable: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_images#Latest_Stable_Build points
to http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/official/
Live CD: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/LiveCD

I'll add this list to the Sugar Wiki page.
