Announcing OLPC OS 13.2.6 with Sugar 0.107

Wed Nov 18 17:12:39 EST 2015

Thanks, I've removed the heading.

I didn't think anybody was using the SD card builds.

Almost all the feedback has been that using them is too expensive and
impractical.  Our download statistics support this idea.

What feedback can you give?

I'm looking for numbers; how many XO-1 laptops have been installed
with SD cards, how many learners use them.

I'm looking for perceptions; is the performance difference significant?
