I have downloaded and tested tuquito in VirtualBox 4.0.4 OSX
I tried installing sweets-distribution on it and it works nicely.!

my notes and your note to us are here:
 http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/tuquito
I have also listed it here
 http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Community_Distributions
I need your permission to use the tuquito icon for this listing and for 
the other page.

I plan to try other ways to install sugar (including directly from 
Ubuntu's repo)

(SURF-115.xo needs to be finished and added to distributions repositories.)

 Cordially;
