My experience has been that a VM Appliance with player is quite a bit
faster<br>
and needs less computer resources than Virtual Box OSE.<br>
</div></blockquote><div><br>VMWare Player does not exist for OS X so that is not an option. Virtualbox is the only free option that performs acceptably on Windows and OS X Hosts right now. Virtualbox can boot the appliance, I think, with some fiddling around. <br>

I have only been working on Ubuntu (9.04 8.04), Fedora 10,11 &
windows XP as host OS so far.<br>
<br>
I have made USB sticks with a very small <1 gb Appliance and the
.iso file<br>
and thus have a USB stick that is the equivalent of a live CD.<br>
<br>
I run them with the Boot stick of Ubuntu 9.04 live with VMPlayer
installed.(Detailed in the wiki)
<div class="im"><pre><a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/VMware" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/VMware</a>
</pre></div>
The boot stick, (or an installed VMPlayer )starts a 2nd USB stick
containing the SUGAR appliance<br>
The advantage: The VMPlayer can be left running without involving the
host computer at all...<br>
And different students can plug their sticks in for their session on
it. they also can go home and run it on<br>
their PC's without jeopardizing the integrity of the host PS's<br>
<br>
The situation <i>should</i> be the same on an Intel Mac.... : /<br>

<pre>Hi;
There is an possible alternate, interim, solution to let Intel Macs run
SUGAR.
*Emulation of Fedora 11 SUGAR DESKTOP Appliances.*
The procedures to make the Appliances and boot sticks are documented in
the wiki:
<a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/VMware" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/VMware</a>
The VMware web site to get the MAC program fusion
and how to convert Linux and Windows
Appliances to Mac Fusion format.

I do not have an Intel Mac so I have not tried this yet, but the VMPlayer
appliances work very well on Windows and Linux PC's that have a
difficult time
booting from Soas.
