Sugar spin is not particularly relevant to the original XO testing
effort but feel free to participate.
Spin is defined at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CustomSpins. It means a
custom of particular Fedora packages targeted towards specific set of
users. It this case, those interested in Sugar desktop environment
Overlay is defined at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo
It means a additional storage layer that is meant to store settings,
data and other software changes (ie) provide data persistence so that
you don't lose changes after reboot.
If there is anything else, you don't understand - let us know.
