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.
