What can be sweeter than a name with Sugar in it? Does it help that its for students, its open source and is fun too? Well then I’m definitely talking about ”Sugar On A Stick” - A new initiative that aims to put accessible, fun software on a pen drive that students can carry around:

• Sugar on a Stick as 1-to-1 computing in an elementary school
• Sugar on a Stick to empower middle- and high-school students to help test, and learn computing platforms as learning tools
• Sugar on a Stick for learning conferences to let people try Sugar and collaborate with other conference participants

Its based off Fedora 11, comes as a 380 MB ISO, and is primarily runs off your USB or CD media. The first release, tastily titled “Strawberry was released on 24th of this month. So here is to a great initiative, and I’ll be taking it for a spin this week and get back with my thoughts.
