Talk:School in a box
Old status
- Scout team (Mel, Ankur, Chris, Tank, etc) BUYING STUFF IN NEW YORK RUNNING AROUND HURRAH
- Houston team staying on-base, working with Ardurino, phoning in purchase requests (Seth, Nikki, David, Dan, etc)
Contents vs/ weight
2 x 50 lbs. 40 XOs. XOs weigh about 3 1/4 lb apiece. If they are part of this, you're already overweight. Rmyers 18:58, 15 June 2008 (EDT)
- For the purposes of this creative session. it is safe to assume separate wt. limits for XOs themselves. ̃̃̃Cjl 19:35, 15 June 2008 (EDT)

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 mini, nano or pico-itx box school server. The XSX_Server_Implementation actually specifies a mini-itx 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)
- I successfully connected to a couple of machines (linux, darwin) from my XO using ssh. So an XO should be able to be used as a console on a headless XS. I know this probably qualifies as 'stupid linux tricks' but I hadn't tried it. Rmyers 15:50, 17 June 2008 (EDT)
Ask the pilots
Has anyone asked User:Leeming of OLPC_Oceania or other pilot leads, like Bryan Berry of OLE Nepal about what they most wish they had in a box when they started their pilots? Cjl 23:38, 17 June 2008 (EDT)
