You have to define "serial number", and you have to define "name".
Further, the answer depends upon the software version in the XO :

??? I myself (and perhaps others) am used to the entire matrix being
visually filled with green. [It already was a shock on the XO-1 when

Now the green leaves glaring gaps. The user is being f

It's no big deal to run webkit-based browsers on the XO. For instance,
all of my XO-1s have Midori installed.
The question is - what is this "performance improvement" that you are
looking for? I believe t

I myself am skeptical of efforts to use the OLPC where a desktop system
might be more effective. I've run various large applications on an
XO-1.5 system, and have not myself experienced "memory shortage".
Unless the RAM chips on the XO-1.75
It may well be the quality of the non-high-priced SD cards I use, but

Well, 'My Settings' -> 'Date & Time' allows the user to specify the
local timezone (I always do this) - but I'm not sure which routines
actually make use of that setting.
It can be extracted by (all on one line): gconftool-2 --direct

My guess is that file /home/.devkey.html was copied in from some other
system, and shows the serial number and UUID of the copied-from system.
And there is a mis-match between the bottom cover and the motherboard.
