The OLPC XO is virtually the worst possible server platform.  It is
highly mobile, has little memory or disk space, usually runs on battery,
and aggressively turns off its CPU when not in use.  It's also unlikely
to have internet connectivity at any given time, and its network
connection is purely wireless (and constantly changing).  Think of it
like running Drupal on your cell phone, or Nokia n810.

Drupal would potentially be very useful on the School Server, which is a
much more appropriate platform.  The current prototypes of the school
server are configured to run Moodle.  You will have to make a case that
Drupal is a sensible counterpart to Moodle, can be integrated with it,
or should replace it.  Regardless, the place to make that case is
server-devel at lists.laptop.org.
