[Server-devel] State of the XS

[Carol Lerche]

Marten -- Just as a friendly aside, I suggest that you install and run
an xo virtual machine, because it is a good way to test pretty much
everything about the xo that doesn't entail details of the
appearance/sound of an app or of operation of the mesh.

Using my (slightly moldy, because I do have hardware) vm I find that
the XO has all the software listed except gpg.
