[Grassroots-l] Need some information about OLPC server

[Greg Smith]

Hi Manoocher,

I'm not sure what features and capabilities you expect from the server. 
OLPC develops a software image designed to work with XOs which we call 
the School Server (XS).

You can get more information on that here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/School_server

Recommended hardware for it is documented here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Recommended_Hardware

Scalability in terms of how many XOs can take advantage of XS services 
is a complicated issue which we will depend on your wireless network 
environment (wireless APs? what model?), your WAN bandwidth, the 
services and features you want to use among other things.

Please send any questions or comments on the XS, the wiki pages or 
servers in general to our server mailing list at:
http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

If you can specify the items listed above that will help us get you 
sized right.

Thanks,

Greg Smith
OLPC Product Manager
