space you will probably need etc) however.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/19/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Danny Clark</b> <<a href="mailto:danny@laptop.org">danny@laptop.org</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi Mike,<br><br>I'm Danny, the new OLPC sys admin. We should def be able to get you<br>space somewhere to do this, although it won't happen immediatly due to<br>my current load. Could you open a ticket on <a href="http://dev.laptop.org">
http://dev.laptop.org</a> with<br>details (approx resource requirements, etc) and assign it to me<br>(djbclark)?<br><br>Thanks,<br>--<br>Daniel Clark # Sys Admin, One Laptop per Child<br># <a href="http://laptop.org">http://laptop.org

<br>> producing .zip files for download so that both Win32 and Linux/Unix<br>> users can access them easily.<br>> > Don't worry too much about upgrading -- as long as your developer<br>> > tools are in /home/olpc they will be preserved across updates by the
