We are happy to use the same distro, we are currently using XS build XS-150 and plan to upgrade to 160. We will just have to make some customizations to the services such as Squid and Dansguardian, which shouldn't be hard. > I disagree with this on one fundamental thing.

The XS should run on most any hardware that's available. > Have you used these in your current testing? What are your results so > far?

I have tested the restore feature only in a virtual machine and not on our live hardware because we are using it heavily to test the XO's that just arrived. Keep the discussion going, there is a lot of work to do on the XS and I really hope we can have a teleconference next week to set a roadmap for the XS. _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
