[OLPC-Peru] [Server-devel] solar Re: Extreme Linux Server Available to North America

Hmm.  John's words sounded as if y'all had already a particular model 
picked up.  I interpreted that from the "10 W" detail.  I am still at 
the stage of figuring out the cost/performance sweet spot.

Price is a major concern for me.  All over-the-counter laptop solar 
options I've come across seem to be priced for "Shibumi" compradores or 
UN field projects. :-(

If OLPC (also very price conscious :-)) does come across a specific 
provider, let's hear!

Thanks,

Yama
