Hello folks,
About SOAS: SOAS stands for "Sugar on a stick" so it's not meant to be used as a installed system but live from the USB stick or memory. However, SOAS was used as installed system in the earlier versions of XO/OLPC laptops. Later versions used Fedora with two desktops installed, Gnome & Sugar. The continuation of this project in Uruguay, switched to Ubuntu and as far as I can tell, it still uses that system. So, the option to install SOAS exists and it's possible but with some tweaking, it's not the default behaviour nor the purpose of this Spin.
Also, as Adam said, you can install Sugar like any other desktop, in your system.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Silvia

SoaS doesn't show an installer icon or anything as it's not really
intended to be installed, but you *can* run the installer from a
console if you insist (per Thomas' mail).
You can also install the Sugar desktop package group from a network
install, I think.
