The Fedora 30 release was earlier today, and with it comes the
Fedora 30 Sugar on a Stick environment, which now has functional
collaboration, out of the box. It includes Sugar 0.113, which
incorporates the necessary fixes.<br>
<br>
<br>
For those who would like to try or use Fedora 30 Sugar on a Stick,
you can download these ISO images, and use DD, win32diskimager, or
your preferred raw image writing utility to stick the contents on
a USB drive. Alternatively, the two ISOs below can be booted as a
Virtual Machine, using VirtualBox, Parallels, Hyper-V, and other
virtualization software.<br>
