as you may have noticed, the OLPC SIG has been working on a spin

request trademark approval from the board for it.
I'm in approval of this, but I'm curious how it fits into the
ecostructure of OLPC and what the OLPC project itself is putting out for
images.
The OLPC project images are jffs2 and intended purely for usage on the
XO (well, or there are also the qemu images I guess).
Is this spin supposed to be used on regular hardware, or just the OLPC
unit?
It's a spin of Fedora using Sugar, much like we have spins of Fedora
using XFCE, KDE, GNOME, ... And much like other Fedora spins run on on
the OLPC hardware, this should also.

Well, I think Jeremy has already mostly answered this - thanks! This is
just another spin based on Fedora which now contains the Sugar Desktop
Environment by default.
The user would be able to download a Live CD and run Sugar directly from
a completely Fedora-based spin, since we've all the stuff now in Fedora
- there are no external sources needed.
