You need to know that teach is a development machine which may fail at
any moment. Please don't use it to store critical data. It has no
uninterruptible power supply, it is not backed up, and it is not
carefully monitored by professional sysadmins. You have been warned.

By the way, if anybody cares to help me maintain teach, do email myself
<luke at faraone.cc> or the OLPC VIG, <olpc-sysadmin at laptop.org>.
