[OLPC-SF] this month's meeting...

[Robert Howard]

Sameer,

I do not think the Sheevaplug will make a very good school server as  
the Sheevaplug has insufficient I/O.  On the other hand the OpenRD  
Client should make a reasonable XS as it has a ton of I/O including 2  
ethernet ports  each running at 1 Gbit.
Mind you the Sheevaplug would make a decent asterisk server for a  
small village.

I am currently using the Sheevaplug as a webserver and have it set it  
up so it boots off of a 2.5 inch HDD I placed in a USB enclosure.
Trying to decide whether to ruin its uptime by bringing it to the  
meeting on the 22nd.

I am waiting for the OpenRD Client kernel patches to make it upstream  
before I start working o  the XS ARM port.
My understanding is that the XS is going to be re-based to Fed 11  
which would make things simpler for me as there is Fed 11 for  ARM.

Not sure if I will make it to the picnic..

/Robert H.
