I do not have a straightforward answer. I am seeing MUCH TOO MUCH
variability in whether I see the sluggishness or not.
So far, when I have paused the ever-running client, I've been seeing
normal system UI response. B
External swap area sounds cool. How does one set it up? I'll give it a
whirl.

After updating to one of the recent joyride builds (can't recall the

Hi,
I just installed build 708 on an XO and also installed the standard set of
activities using the script provided at

I can launch activities using their UI icons, but when I try to launch
activities from the terminal using sugar-launch, I get the error
I test all the time and have never noticed this behavour. Regular release or

Something fixed the system crash made by Record I have experienced on

Hi Mark,
I'm interested to hear feedback from people here, but you may be able to
get feedback from teachers and kids with a little more work.
The most communicative user base is in South America.
You can get the most feedback by sending your request to
http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-su
I'm including the Education list in a hope we can get some feedback as
to what class of MS-Windows programs are a high-priority. I cannot
imagine Word would be high on the list, but there are undoubtedly many
applications people are looking for...
