Yes, you are a good case for helping with testing.

That page does not offer an Ubuntu 11.10 build of Sweets Distribution.

You may either:

- wait for an Ubuntu 11.10 build of Sweets Distribution, Aleksey can
  advise on that, or

- use a virtual appliance of Ubuntu 11.04 and Sweets Distribution,
  http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Ubuntu#How_to_install_a_virtual_appliance
  or

- create a virtual machine, install Ubuntu 11.04, then install Sweets
  Distribution on it, or

- use the Ubuntu Sugar 0.90 packages (an unpleasant experience because
  of the bugs), or

- wait for Ubuntu 12.04, then wait for an Ubuntu 12.04 build of Sweets
  Distribution, Aleksey can advise on that.
