Hey guys,
I've received my XO this afternoon and it's a remarkable little device (and quite the chick magnet, it seems). I'm looking forward to testing F10 on it, as the combination of F10 and a small form factor will undoubtedly transform it into an ace subnotebook.

So! An introduction, eh? My name's Steve Salevan and I'm a QA engineer for Red Hat's RHN Satellite product, where I perform regression testing and code Selenium-based automated tests. I've been an adamant Fedora user for about 4 years now and I'm an active participant in several community software projects such as Func and Spacewalk. In my free time I serve as the resident local music director/prog rock geek of WKNC 88.1FM, NC State's student-run radio station, and you can hear my weekly show, The Local Beat, on Fridays from 5-8PM.

If anyone around Raleigh cares to test the OLPC mesh networking functionality, we should crash the Flying Saucer sometime.


Totally into that. I would also like to borrow someones locally to do some outreach at the school. BTW.. I picked up the following at circuit city today (paid about 5 to 10 bucks too much.. but hey.. the economy is great right?).

I followed the same directions as earlier:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestPlans/Fedora10_On_XO#Installing_your_SD_card

And only had the following issues:

1) I had to change my wifi router to be channel (1).
2) I had to make the new media card bootable:


# /sbin/parted /dev/sdb
(parted) print
Model: Multi Flash Reader (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 2033MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start  End     Size    Type     File system  Flags
 1      127kB  2031MB  2031MB  primary  fat16

(parted) toggle 1 boot
(parted) quit


20 hours and 5 minutes till my key is ready :)
