[Grassroots-l] Need some information about OLPC server

[Pilar Saenz]

Hi Manoocher,

Maybe you can use this info too
http://wiki.laptop.org/images/7/76/Worksheet_v12.xls
It's a collection of spreadsheets with information about
infrastructure required, and the costs involved in deployments

Best Regards,


María del Pilar Sáenz
