 In most development countries the price of Flash Disk is really high,
 usually prohibitive. However, in deployment scenarios, XOs become really
 available, becoming much easier to have access to one laptop than to a
 flash disk.

 It would be beneficial if we could set up an unsecured XO as a NANDBlaster
 server, usually in nb-secure operation mode. Using only one XO as a server
 a one flash disk, a single person can reflash hundreds of laptops per day.
 NANDBlaster is the most awesome feature the XO Firmware has.

 It really makes a huge impact in the time and effort needed to reflash
 machines. The requirement of a unsecured laptop to work as a server make
 difficult its use by schools and smaller repair centers.
