[OLPC-Philippines] OLPC-Philippines Digest, Vol 14, Issue 3

[Timothy Martinez]

I also tried it and it works fine. I used 8gb FD. I also installed MIT
Scheme,
and some codecs. How I wish if I could also add compiz fusion. I will try it
tomorrow
if I will have some spare time. Rowen are you ok? Try Ubuntu to your XO-1.
You will have lots of fun too. By the way it's my birthday on Saturday. 8-)
Regards to everyone specially to Jerome and Naz. Happy Hacking.
