When we need to restart, we have to shutdown, wait, notice that it has
finished shutting down, start, wait and then notice it has started up again.
Often we forget the middle bit, and are annoyed that 5 minutes has passed
and we are ready to use the laptop again, but it hasn't restarted, it's just
switched off.

We didn't compare to browse, the text in the Wikipedia activity is massive
in absolute terms.

We have prototype XO-1.5 hardware where the wireless function does not
survive going to sleep. This isn't normally a problem, we just turn off
power saving and restart after installing a new build. On one unit, even
after doing this, we were unable to see anything in the neighbourhood view.
We tested this at the end of the day and unfortunately didn't examine in
great detail, but I remember that the wireless interface didn't show up in
ifconfig -a.
