[SoaS] sugar on a stick

[James Cameron]

The problem of creating a human interface for writing images to a USB
stick is so technically straightforward that solutions have become
common.

There does not seem to be consensus among the distributions yet.  Ubuntu
even has two.  [1] [2]

People who have specialised in distributions won't have noticed the
alternate tools used by other distributions.

Distributions have tended to be the focal point for such tools, but
unetbootin is not distribution focused.

unetbootin might offer another possibility ... get the Fedora Sugar
combination listed there as an option.  Use unetbootin project as
leverage.  It apparently has Windows and Mac OS X support.  [3]
