Not sure. That's for updating the part of the laptop that _isn't_
created by the user. We care here about the other ;) Don't know if the
plan is for OS updates to be in the school server. Martin would know,
I guess.

There are many ways of arbitrating access to the backup service, and
as you pointed out, this should happen without taking much bandwidth.
See http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_backup_restore for a proposal.

I would like to know if there already exist any plans about backups. Martin?

Thanks,
