| These are issues I care about :) and this page is continually updated. |
| I got an XO Laptop as part of a project in July 2008. At the time, I had 5 minutes experience with Linux. But I turned it on and got it to connect to an encrypted wireless. So I said to myself - instead of hauling around my huge laptop (okay - it is a very nice IBM Thinkpad, but it is still heavy) and working on this wiki - I will just take my XO around and work on this wiki. Except ...!
A couple of remarks.
