Re: [Server-devel] CentOS hardware support doubts
Hi, You can try the work done by Alsroot: http://gitorious.paraguayeduca.org/paraguayeduca-server is based on Ubuntu server. Regards, Carlos 2012/2/1 Abhishek Singh abhishek.si...@olenepal.org: On 02/01/2012 01:15 AM, Daniel Drake wrote: Hi, Like others, I'm interested in moving the XS to a newer OS base. My key motivation for this is that the Foundation Zamora Teran (OLPC Nicaragua) is having difficulty buying servers for new schools being added to the project - Fedora 9 is too old to support this hardware. For the next XS release, Martin suggests that CentOS 6.2 (or another RHEL equivalent) is used as a base. As my contribution here will likely be limited to just this rebase, I'm prepared to accept that preference. However, having installed/run CentOS 6.2 for the first time I now have my doubts about this. I installed it on a server where the network interface does not appear with F9 (but does work with more recent Fedora). With CentOS, the same problem as F9 is presented: no network adapter. Digging further, I see that support was added to the Linux kernel for this particular network adapter (Atheros AR8152) on February 16th, 2010. However, since CentOS 6.2 uses a kernel from 2009, it does not support this hardware. This seems excessively old for a distro that was released in December 2011, and I imagine that we will see many such problems if we run with this. With this in mind, is there still a strong preference to go with CentOS, or would a more recent Fedora (e.g. 16/17?) be a better choice? Thanks, Daniel ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel Hi Daniel, Moving to CentOS or some enterprise Linux makes sense for rebasing XS on but given the limitations with hardware compatibility, this might be a blocker. New hardware are being used at deployments so probably we might have to stick with newer versions of Fedora. -- Abhishek Singh System Engineer Open Learning Exchange (OLE) Nepal साझा शिक्षा ई-पाटी http://www.olenepal.org Tel: +977-1-551 ext. 102 ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel -- Carlos Daniel Garay Departamento de Tecnología, Paraguay Educa. ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
Re: PY-Re: keyjector URGENT
Reuben, How are you, we need the keyjector. 353 XO 1.5 Hs cannot be delivered to their owners until we put our custom build in it. Can you help or point to whom should I write to?

[Server-devel] Unregister - Register
Hello, One of our XS had to be replaced (hd broken). The problem is that the XO's were already register in the old schoolserver and only a few of them weren't register and now are registered in the new XS. Because of this only the XO that are registered on the new XS are being back-upped. Is there a massive-efficient way to unregister and then re register the XO?
