Something

<eliyah> mucha: I downloaded an XS school server software. I wanna make use of that, If you understand me.
<mchua> eliyah: Yes, I know what software you're talking about.
<mchua> eliyah: Just because it's available for download doesn't mean it's ready for everyone to use, though - because OLPC is an open-source project, code in the midst of being written is still available to people.
<mchua> eliyah: Much of the OLPC code that's out there is actually under active development - it's made available through the wiki and so forth so that developers can download them and use them for testing and to help with the coding.
<adricnet> And :) You don't actually need the school server (XS) to do any of what you've mentioned .. in fact it doesn't do any of those things.
<adricnet> School server does not have a GUI yet and is comprised of a bunch of console programs, mostly servers (daemons) and their configuration.
<mchua> eliyah: What we're trying to say is that there's a *much* easier way of doing what you want to do that doesn't involve a very, very painful installation process.
<adricnet> Even experienced linux admins (*wave*) are not using the XS image much yet, expect in OLPC sponsored deployments where OLPC techs are "on the ground" like in Argentina, Peru, Mongolia
<mchua> eliyah: If you'd like to make your desktop and your XOs "talk" to each other, "see" each other in the Neighborhood, and share Activities, we can help you do that in a /much/ easier way.
<mchua> (and those "Argentina, Peru, Mongolia" deployments adricnet mentioned are sort of like the "pilot tests" for school server software - the first time school servers have actually been used outside of the development lab, I believe.)
<adricnet> mchua: ++ (first time with MP XOs and released software, yes)
<adricnet> And boy are they having fun :D Apparently it's really amazingly cold in Mongolia. Who knew?
