Hi,
My point about the UPS is that an off-grid setup doesn't need one which
somewhat offsets the additional cost of supporting a hard drive.
Yea the cost savings can go towards a proper 12v deep cycle battery.
Currently the two

Hi, Adam
The model I have been pursuing is that the library contents are checked
out by the child - i.e. copied to the Journal on the XO. There is no
need to be connected to the school server to read a book. The same
approach applies to media (audio, image, video).
Naturally, the child will
Hi,
I assume this situation is also solar-powered. What is the range over
which the school server has to be accessible? Do you wire the APs back
to the central location or provide solar power directly to each?
I fully agree that the school server needs its own power in a solar
environment.
Indeed, some of Haitian schools have Internet and some don't: Braddock's
Internet-in-a-Box team has made a world of difference.
So in the end, the many Haitian schools I speak with are generally all are
interesting in keeping their Digital Libraries open (i.e. accessible, and
turned on) for

For the past couple of months, member of the XSCE team have been
interviewing deployments and schools to gain information on what they would
like to see from a school server.
I would like to open this up to a straw poll about school server priorities

Perhaps another avenue to explore could be SSHD's (a hybrid of SSDs and
HDD's). They would cost significantly less than an SSD (a 500GB SSHD
retails $80), yet meager on power consumption about 2.5-3W better than an
HDD, 1-1.5W worse than an SSD.

What would be neat is if there was a power supply that you could replace
