[Server-devel] "Register" option off the XO

[Tony Pearson]

Wad,
Q1- On the Reboot/Shutdown/Register option, how do we activate the 
"Register" so that it contacts the schoolserver?
If it involves writing/installing new python code on the XO and/or code on 
the school server, then please point us to what your team had in mind for 
this. 

Q2- We are thinking of assigning some kind of "machine-id" to each XO that 
would be used to distinguish the "rsync" backups.  I have seen past 
arguments for and against various information such as "nickname", "Serial 
number", UUID, etc.  Any preferences for choosing a unique identifier?

Q3- Besides the /home directory, do you think there are any other 
directories that might be required to recover an XO, assuming we get it 
back to a base 65x level and perform the recover of individual files that 
were rsync'ed prior to the outage?

Thanks
