Re: [Server-devel] Testing XSCE 3 on XO 1.5 2GB os855
Actually, it's not that much of a problem (a mere $50 or so). More of an issue is my impatience, I was hoping to test it today - the download for the XO would take about 10 hours on my connection. If there's no quick answer I'll download it overnight.

Sorry just realised the XO is only installed with 11.3.1 (os855) However, is it still possible to work around? It's not easy or cheap to download the os file.
