School server in a box

I recall some discussion of using an XO as a small school server. If that's so -

external hard drive with XS image
active antenna

If not, what about a micro or nano-atx box school server. The XS spec actually specifies a micro-atx form factor mother board.

I haven't tried this, but can an XO be used as a terminal to another linux box? If so, there's the console for the XS. Rmyers 19:10, 15 June 2008 (EDT)
