You'll find several activities on the image including most notably:

sugar-browse - a web browsing activity based on xulrunner
sugar-write - a word processor based on abiword

...along with several other activities, including Chat support.

Fedora OLPC

The Fedora OLPC SIG, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OLPC, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might later be installed using

yum install sugar-*.

USB Key

See our Sugar on a Stick page.

What if you wanted to put it quickly onto your USB Key? You'll just need to grab Luke Macken's liveusb-creator, which already includes support for the Sugar Spin. Here's the link:

The liveusb-creator still contains an old link, which is the reason why you'll need to download the spin manually until this gets fixed.

Thank you everybody, who made this possible!

Marco wrote a quick script to generate a boot cd for a liveusb image with overlay. It can be useful on old systems which doesn't support boot from USB:
