What hardware should I use?

XSCE (XS Community Edition) runs on many different hardware platforms, listed below.

Deployment Managers: an all-inclusive tough lower-power unit (eg. TrimSlice) for the developing world especially is expected later in 2013 -- please check back later!

Technical/DIY Implementers: roll your own on XO-1.5, XO-1.75, XO-4, x86 and x64 -- with experimental support for XO-1 and Raspberry Pi also increasingly possible.

What can I do with ebooks (Pathagar) and Internet-in-a-Box ?

Starting around August 2013 XSCE 0.4 should allow you to build a great collection of electronic books for your school (thanks to Pathagar) alongside the incredible Wikipedia-and-then-some resources of http://internet-in-a-box.org -- that permit entirely new opportunities for semi-connected schools and offline libraries worldwide.

We'd like educators' suggestions especially: how should kids best take advantage of these crown jewels of learning, eg. using their XO's browser in places like?
