[OLPC India] How to? School server implementation

[amit gogna]

Hi Sulo,

   To brief you on what we have done here at pilot site is as follows :-

a)  We have installed apache webserver  so that we can have a common single
repository for keeping the files to be shared by the kids. The same database
can be accessed by giving the IP Address of the school server on the XO.
b) This is the basic configuration we have done , though there can be better
way of doing it. I have already started some work on Drupal  for sharing the
files and the XO work among various places. Will soon put the details on
wiki.
