[SoaS] Sugar on RPi2

[James Cameron]

Sugar in Raspbian "Stretch" should work well on the Raspberry Pi.

If it doesn't, let us know on sugar-devel@ mailing list, thanks, not
soas at .  It is off-topic for soas at .

Start with Raspbian, switch to "Stretch", then install the
sucrose-0.104 package.  It is included [1].

In terms of hardware ... [2]

- the fastest would be the Raspberry Pi Generation 2 Model B, as it
  has 1 GB of RAM and a quad-core 900 MHz CPU.

- the slowest would be the Raspberry Pi Model A, with 256 MB of RAM.

User acceptance of performance depends entirely on experience; so with
naive learners you can save $USD 15 per seat by using Model A+.

On the Sugar Labs Wiki there's a recipe for switching to "Stretch"
release for Debian [3], which should work in a similar fashion for
Raspbian.
