Didn't see anything that looked Sugarized.

I tried on a Mac mini using the helper CD.

It first shows a short bluish splash while counting down seconds that  
looks nothing like Sugar. Then it boots the kernel and unpacks the  
initrd, using white text on a black background. Then a blue fedora  
screen appears with a progress bar on its bottom. This does not look  
Sugarish either. After that bar reached the end, back to the black  
screen with an underscore character (might be a cursor) in the upper  
left corner. Then the machine freezes so I could not test further.
