Active Antennae No Longer Suggested??
Top posting, sorry...
Anyway I thought I saw (on this wiki) that Active Antennae are no longer available so why test with them?
Are you crazy? ;-/ A "sanity test" with unreasonable requirements as the first test of connectivity?
The bottom of the XS announcement (blog.laptop.org) mentions small scale XS on XO, and your first test is not small scale at all, so make it easier???
Segmenting Talk:Schoolserver Testing below too, for clarity...

Partitioning, thanks
I've installed XS ( and need to check my version ), the first time again in years since it wiped my regular laptop drive for FOSE 2008 (Federal Office Systems Expo 2+ years ago) without asking for partitioning like a regular Fedora distro/ spin, so thanks for making that an option!

Getting back to XS settings after FirstBoot
The first time I booted the XS software, it was giving me a text based menu of settings stuff, which I'm guessing was a FirstBoot type config thing and I don't see it now, and would like to get back to it, as I'm learning XS in an odd home configuration...

Graphical mode on XO
Also don't see an X-Windows startx but have a lot of windowing stuff installed...

Suggestion: Make XS a Fedora Bundle
Not to put a wrench in the existing XS process, but I have a need to run XS *sometimes*, in a home and maybe User Group / demo / testing environment and want to share the school server base OS Fedora (hopefully F11 and 64 bit) with a base install, so if XS rpms were bundled into something that can be yum installed off a base vanilla Fedora system (and making it easier to port to next Fn+1 versions and other (rpm based at least) distros) it seems like the way to go...
Have any base Fedora installed just
yum install XS
and you have server
service stop XS
turn off the school server services and use the base install machine for other things...
Good for afterschool programs, sharing limited resources, development environments for testing, etc...

Verify:
"Verify that an IP address has been assigned by typing ifconfig eth0. The address assigned should be in the range 172.18.16.0 to 172.18.63.255."
ifconfig does not return the address in this format. Instead,
