Old thread, I know.

Have you looked at kiwix - http://www.kiwix.org/index.php/Main_Page

It is 'screened' content, with effort to pick a good article version.

Cheers,Andy!

 Hello everyone

 Sorry, last message was sent without finish.

 Just asking if anyone here knows about fanless server in the field, in any
 country, i was looking at the wiki[1], and the only information about
 hardware from this vendors [2][3], is in Afghanistan.

 We want to buy a few servers from this companies, to use in Nicaragua, but
 first i want to make sure that this ones works very good.

 Any suggestions?

We use LogicSupply's SolidLogic LS-102 boxes in Jamaica. I use a
FitPC-1 in Bhagmalpur, India for about 25 XOs. The FitPC2 pulls about
15W at the AC brick. The LogicSupply box pulls 25W to 26W and the
FitPC-1 pulls 8W at the AC end.

cheers,
Sameer

Thanks all as we're approaching capacity with about 5 Americans and 5

we'll certainly make a place for you, don't worry, contact me soon 
regardless =)


Strategy? Our meeting will focus on a shippable/solid school server 
() serving large deployments as well as community schools. No 
matter how close we get to painfree network-configuration. Even if 
much-desired features from the following list don't all ship in the end:

Those with ongoing School Server projects consider arriving 1-2 
nights in advance to polish your work, working alongside others who 
genuinely give a damn!  Prior to the larger group arriving Thur Feb 7 
thru Monday Feb 11.


Or stick around an extra night to complete your task.  EG. several of 
us Might Even drive to Birmingham, Alabama Feb 13/14 to give 
Valentine Love to the unheralded XO/XS work ongoing in small pockets 
of the western world / OECD's largest (if in many ways sadly defunct) 
XO deployment.  Where I personally had the great fortune to get an 
inside glimpse at this evolving 21st century civil rights movement 
over much of December...
