Hello, should an One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) version of Scratch work on the Linux Sweets Distribution (Sugar desktop variant for Linux)? I can get it to install, but it seems to think some command flags are filenames (or some error of that nature). Thanks.

As far as I can tell, I do not think Scratch will run on this distro. I do know it works on Ubuntu and Debian for sure though. If you need any more help, just ask around smile

Thank you for the reply. I'm not understanding your use of the word, `distro,` I fear!

I should say, I do not understand the word `distro` and `it.` I know what Ubuntu and Debian are, but the rest of the response is somewhat vague. Thank you.

'Distro' refers to a distribution of Linux (i.e. Ubuntu/Debian). I think that Zeusking19 meant that he does not think that Scratch will run on your version of Linux (Zeusking19, please correct me if I'm wrong. smile )

Yup wink

Sorry if the response was a bit vague. I hope you can understand now smile

Edit: Turns out I got mixed up and made the post completely nonsense. Corrected now.

As far as I can tell, Sweets is either a window manager (which I suspect) or an entire windowing system. In any case, it runs fine on Ubuntu. Is anyone working on getting scratch to work with this window manager?

Scratch should work with any window manager - that shouldn't be an issue. The difficulty comes with finding the package for the distro. If you have Ubuntu, Debian or Fedora you should be fine smile . Find the ubuntu/debian package on the download page and click on the link to Scratch on Linux for the fedora package. I hope that helps!
