'''What's exactly on the Stick''': The Fedora version contains a compressed copy of Fedora 10 (Soas1) or Fedora 10.92 (Soas2) that will boot, run in memory and maintain changes on a USB flash drive with a standard FAT16 or FAT32 partition. The files coexist with other files the user may have or put on the disk. Different types of configurations are being designed to offer the options to run virtualizations or emulations and to use virtual machines on existing computers saving the Sugar Home folder (user's work) on the Stick for use at another workstation. See [[Sugar on a Stick/Roadmap#Use cases]].
