Geoff Baker, Executive Director at Aid 4 Africa has a hating for OLPC, but in spite of that, he brings up an interesting question:

Does it mat...

Did he say anything new?

@fruhlinger says Negroponte let the victim keep the tossed XO!

@joshuatopolsky says "A front rower almost got killed by @nnegroponte's flying OLPC"

He's tossing an XO again! Nicholas Negroponte has brought back his "tossing the XO" move from previous speeches for the Engadget show, this time with an interesti...

Version 1.1 is now up at http://www.wa1gsf.net/downloads/XO/StarChart-11.xo
This version adds Spanish localization, makes it easier to set your "home location" and corrects a long-standing bug with setting time.

Nicholas Negroponte likes to say that there are 1 million XO laptops in the wild, counting 100,000 XO laptops in Rwanda.  Seems his math is a little off - OLPC Rwanda has only passed out around 10K laptops:

All the TC-XO versions "suffer" from very small fonts in the menu and the windows tittle bar. So I recompiled flwm with bigger fonts.
To implement (till v.0.2 arrives) it just copy/paste the following in your terminal
[code]sudo -s
cd /opt
wget -c htt...

you must be right.  I  must have tried the other way several time...

 Well,... it is! Hopefully with no more problems.

So now you can find 3 versions of tc-xo_01 with...

I would think this is an init.d/udev issue. In F11-olpc init is build by dracut. You may want to take a look at these scripts and the order of things (just guessing )

Thanks, mavrothal!

I used your instructions as well as what I found here:

Wanted to see if I could do this on DebXO and upgrade to Squeeze.  Um, mostly succ...

When can I buy a new XO-1.5 motherboard for my XO-1, so I can use Flash when visiting websites for my child?

Apparently server rebuilding takes longer than expected. They tell me they hit a major RedHat bug that are trying to get around.

So till this is solved I uploaded the new tc-xo_01.base.tar.bz2 (md5sum: 7...

OLPC's Nicholas Negroponte will be on the Engadget Show this coming Saturday, March 20th (tickets are free for the taking).  But what should he talk about?  The new XO-1.5 laptop hardware?  Pixel Qi screens for netbooks? The next Sugar release?

What w...

Free beats paying as far as being cost effective!

I remember students telling me to use Skype to contact their relatives in Russia on my XO. I said why use it when they have to be on their computer to talk. I replied that calling them on the phone can ...

The XO draws 3-5 Watts, a marked improvement over the Asus. The XO can be charged by mechanical means (foot crank, bicycle crank, etc) by 1 person, but to do the same with an Asus, you'd need a team of people.

So I have an Eee PC 1000HE, it runs well, even with me not taking care of it and letting to get bogged with viruses and stuff... I've dropped it and it still works.

My question is is it's power consumption even comparable to that of the XO? On a little...

"sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree"

shouldn't this be "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"?

It's been a long time when I am looking for a good bag for my laptop. I want to have this green fur on my laptop. The surface of this bag is very protective and fact, the macbook is not easily to bruise.
