<pre wrap="">Frederick,
I am not familiar with WIndows. I switched to Macintosh in 1993.
Last May a few nice knowledgeable guys tried to put SoaS in my Mac but it wouldn´t work.
They concluded SoaS was not yet ready for MacOS.
Does SoaS work now in Macs?
Has anyone tried it successfully?

Tested today: 04/08/2011<br>
<br>
Macbook Pro i7:<br>
Intel Core i7-2620 CPU@ 2.70 z x4<br>
Intel Sandybridge Mobile GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT<br>
<br>
1-) VirtualBox 4.0.4 OSX Emulation seems to be best:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Emulator_image_files">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Emulator_image_files</a><br>
( a list of ready to go Importable Virtual Machines with sugar.)<br>
<br>
Trisquel-4.1-sugar works very well as a SoaS and is Recommended for
Intel Macs<br>

<br>
2-) These CD's boot on the MAC<br>
(hold "C" key during power on on Mac about 10+ sec)<br>
Ethernet (wired) and usb mouse work (No wireless) <br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/15-Beta.RC2/Live/i686/Fedora-15-Beta-i686-Live-Desktop.iso">http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/15-Beta.RC2/Live/i686/Fedora-15-Beta-i686-Live-Desktop.iso</a><br>
Gnome3-shell 2.91.93 Desktop<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=2983261&name=Fedora-15-Nightly-20110407.23-i686-Live-soas.iso">http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=2983261&name=Fedora-15-Nightly-20110407.23-i686-Live-soas.iso</a><br>
SoaS f15<br>
<br>
there are still some problems with Soas:<br>
on first login to Live User it tries to go to start openbox<br>
log out then type in live user in the login bar "other" <br>
select sugar as gdm dropdown<br>
it will fail <br>
next log in live user (no password) and sugar will start<br>
If Ethernet (wired) is connected the f1 neigborhood works on jabber<br>
Control Panel/ About My Computer: <br>
Sugar on a stick 5<br>
sugar 0.92.0<br>
<br>

I still think Virtualization is the Best way to run sugar on a Mac<br>
