What is the accuracy of the hwclock on XOs? Can we assume that it will
keep good time over an XO's five-year lifespan?
We have some XO-1.5s that have their hwclocks off by 10-20 minutes.
Would this likely be due to a fault at the factory (e.g. not setting
the time before shipping them), or did the

Even selling just motherboard upgrades to XO-1 G1G1 would be great. BTW,
does 1.75 board still fit into XO-1 like the 1.5 one does?

What filesystem is your USB key formatted with. I think OFW only

Trying to build a minimal 'server' profile compose, I find that
revisor on F14 has bugs/issues that hint at it not being used at all
-- notably #bz649815, where revisor expects to find and use
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime and expects an anaconda-runtime package to
exist in the compose.

Is the cost and form factor viable to replace one of the external usb
ports with a mini hdmi Type C or D port ?
When students or teacher give talks it would be nice for them to show to
the class on the tv what they are doing.
The type hdmi 1.4 , D connector is 2.8 mm × 6.4 mm, where as the hdmi

Hi all.
This sould be a trivial issue.

I remember Slackware jumping from version 4 to 7 because the lower
number led people to believe it was behind what then just "Red Hat Linux".
My one concern though is if Fedora ever decided to do a point release
like Slackware does this would lead to confusion.
