Hi,
I remember to have heard some rumor about Microsoft considering to use
the internal NAND as swapping, thus killing any OS that may be
installed there.
This would mean that by dual-boot we are talking about having two SD
cards each with a different OS?

The key combination is fn-space (which has a gear icon on it).
Indeed, that is one of the virtues of Squeak. Python was somewhat of a

If you are at a TTY console on an XO and for some reason X11 is not running,
you can run olpc-dm to start X and sugar.

Basically when coming out of suspend, the Squeak process takes up lots
of cpu power and can be unresponsive for about a minute on build 703
(other builds not yet tested).
Hmm. Interestingly, windows VM has similar problem. If you suspend
Windows with Squeak running, resuming takes long
