If you haven't tried out the Strawberry release of Sugar, grab the ISO from <a href="http://www.legaltorrents.com/torrents/599-sugar-on-a-stick">http://www.legaltorrents.com/torrents/599-sugar-on-a-stick</a> (bit torrent) or from <a href="http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-strawberry.iso">http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-strawberry.iso</a> (http) <br>
<br>This is a live CD and will boot your computer without installing. Simply pop the CD in your computer and reboot. Make sure your computer's BIOS is set to boot from CD (most usually are).<br clear="all"><br>Among other activities, you'll get to see the Speak activity, which now has a "West Indies" accent. Try it out and see if it really works. Speak also supports a speaking robot that relies on ALICE (<a href="http://alice.pandorabots.com/">http://alice.pandorabots.com/</a>). <br>
<br>You can also install a slew of activities from <a href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org/">http://activities.sugarlabs.org/</a> although because this is a live CD environment, the activities will be gone once you reboot. <br>
