I would like to extend a very special thanks to Peter Robinson, who took time out of his busy schedule to assist in getting the Fedora packages updated with the necessary fixes and patches. Thank you, Peter. This will be the first Fedora SoaS in several releases to have functional collaboration within Sugar, and it is thanks to your work, as well as community testers who take the time to test these new packages, and report back with the results.

Alternatively, these ISOs can be booted as a Virtual Machine, using VirtualBox, Parallels, Hyper-V, and other virtualization software.
