That will be a great resource for developers w/ fast internet connections. Unfortunately, bandwidth and latency are big problems here. All internet connections go over satellite links. This builds in at least a 660 ms delay.<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: MBurns <maburns@gmail.com><br>To: Bryan Berry <bryanbryanb@yahoo.com><br>Cc: devel@laptop.org<br>Sent: Friday, January 5, 2007 7:18:55 AM<br>Subject: Re: [sugar] A special linux distribution for developing OLPC applications<br><br><div>Hi,<br><br>The Open Source Lab here in Oregon is actively looking into bring<br>online a
