[OLPC-Philippines] Ubuntu 8.10 on the XO-1

[Carlos Nazareno]

P550 ang 4GB Kingston na MicroSD with full-sized SD-Card adaptor sa CDR-King :D

Hey favor, Jerome: can I send you some benchmarking apps written in Flash?

I'd like to test the speeds/performance of various
distros/configuration on the XO.

Would it be okay for you to install the latest Opera and Flash 10 plugin too?

Let me know if this is alright as it'll help our Flash on the XO project.

Thanks!

-Naz

P.S. did you get the other XO-specific components working? Like how's
the wifi adaptor and webcam doing? How about the mic?
