Hi Brian,
that doesn't sound pretty. Who did you receive the server from? What
deployment are you part of?
The server -- can boot from USB or from a CD? Perhaps you can boot

I discovered something interesting. I was running the XS-on-XO image
on a XO-1. The writes tend to slow things down, so I moved the
/library partition onto an external USB drive. I figured, if I lock
the SD card, the OS will be forced to act as read only on the card,
but that's not the case. Even
Does anyone have any experience with a USB-stick based 3g unit made by
MicroMax. micromax mmx352g We are looking to use this in India, either
directly on an XO or on the XS. Wanted to ping the lists before I go
digging. It hasn't been plug-and-play thus far.

So, I've been messing with running Pathagar. It runs fine as a
stanalone 127.0.0.1 django app. Next, I moved to mod_wsgi. This is
where I keep running into :
TemplateSyntaxError: Caught ImportError while rendering: No module
named pathagar.books
After looking at a bunch of docs, it seems like
I was thinking (once again) about the possibility of running XS on a
XO 1.5. On the XO-1 the built-in radio runs in the 802.11s mesh mode
and serves out IPs via DHCP. Given that the 1.5 does not do 802.11s
mesh, can't the radio instead simply work in adhoc mode and serve the
same purpose? I am not

Marin,
The load tests we did on XS were by loading Moodle. Those wouldn't
account for any load on ejabberd though, right?
As I recall, somewhere on the wiki are scripts that load test xmpp,
but cannot find it right now.

also got a suggestion to look into IPv6 tunnels
(http://www.sixxs.net/tools/ayiya/).
1) Is anyone else using something like this or similar?
2) Is there a different approach to doing the same?
I can put up the instructions on the wiki in a bit.
