A boy and his laptop

My name is Tony, and I bought an XO Laptop for my son, Miguel. Although he's three, I'm hoping this will be a laptop he can grow older with.

My OLPC Blog

21:55, 4 January 2008 (EST) I have a server at my house (currently a web/mail/file server for various websites I run) that I'm trying to add XS Server capability on. I'm using Ubuntu though, and so I'm working to get the XS Software to work on it.

The server's capabilities are: Intel Pentium D 930, 4 GB of memory, 500 GB of hd space (more will be added as needed should it be necessary.

I'm in the process of getting a WG111 USB Wireless Adaptor to serve as a School node. I'll post details of how it's going at some point.
