Sugar on a Stick - Sugar Labs

[Eric Shubert]

liveusb-creator is pretty cool all right. I'm putting CentOS on a thumb 
drive presently though.

I'm running Ubuntu Heron (LTS) on my desktop and didn't find l-c in the 
repos, so I'm running it in my Vista VM. I'd rather not have to go there 
though. Anyone know if there's an easy way to get l-c on to Ubuntu 
(short of building the source)?
