I agree "Sugar on a Stick" should be only the Fedora based sh script 
installed USB and SD software that sugarlabs produces.

I am calling other variants (except for Strawberry or "Blueberry") 
"Sugar Desktop on a Stick" to distinguish them.
these are "full install" (Anaconda and maybe zyx-liveinstaller?) SD/USB 
and their images, F11, F12 @Sugar-Desktop installs with and without 
Gnome, KDE, XFCE.

VMPlayer Appliances are "Sugar (F11,F12/opensuse11.1/..etc.)Appliances. etc.

I also wish that the range of rim colors available for the XO choice in 
F1 Neighborhood would distinguish what Distribution they are based on...
ie:
greens opensuse-edu
blues :blueberry
reds s-strawberry
etc... but this may be asking too much to do.
