I tried it on Debian today, with the update packages since Debian unstable is frozen. It needs some TLC. There's no good way, as far as I can tell, to install an activity on Debian. The software installation control panel applet is missing. I can install them from the browser, but they sit forever pulsing their icons when I try to start them.

I don't know the state of Sugar in Debian. I know people are working hard to make Sugar usable on Fedora. Fedora contributors have been publicly encouraged to help with the effort. There's even a Fedora Sugar live I believe:

Greg has a series of blog posts talking significantly about the effort and his personal experience using Sugar exclusively...but since livejournal just cratered it seems...i can't easily reference them here. I don't want to hand over a set of google cache urls, I'm not sure if that's appropriate.

They've been working hard recently to get the presence server up and running so the collaborative elements of Sugar applications work.
