On an xo-1, using the official 12.1 from download.laptop.org as a base, I am able to successfully yum install firefox with the 2 new dependencies (fedora-bookmarks, xulrunner) and 7 updates - mostly nss* modules). FF works fine with the Google and Gmail sites. Sent from my currently functioni

Potentially silly question. Once the xo-1 ‎is successfully attached to an AP, does the mesh beaconing on those three channels on that box then potentially stop? I had my twelve xo -1s successfully attach to an AP, and run internet reliably, concurrently  . Powering up a virgin non-ap attached x

All good for performance testing from a developer point of view. However, from a user experience point of view, taking an XO 1.0 running an old version and replacing it with an XO1.75 running a new version and seeing performance decrease I can be 'interesting'.
