The school server will be Fedora with some XO services, backups via rsync and some class specific material and services like network gateway. For those in the US the folk at OLPC will have another give-one:get-one program this fall.. The XO is cute and yes nifty. A serious Linux USER will find it a bit light on horsepower and memory but marvelous. As far as a teaching tool goes the software and teaching concepts can be applied to any laptop not just the XO. The hardware enables the software as much or more than the other way around. It has yum, It has a window manager (matchbox) It has a desktop (sugar) It has bash It has python It has wireless networking It has Ctl-Alt-F[123] alternate shell It has an X server. It has user accounts... It has a web browser (firefox) It has a Fedora kernel... It has USB ports (three). It has a mousepad It has a keyboard.... It has a LCD display with an advantage. Loading software is different... no DVD/CDROM. When all is said and done it runs Fedora.... and this is a Fedora list. -- T o m M i t c h e l l Found me a new hat, now what? -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
