I have been testing the Ventrilo server on my XO1.5 XSCE and it works well.
With connection from AP to schoolserver via my Android phone and window
machines I can have voice conversation. There is no Ventrilo client for Linux.
Have not been able to run the alternative Mumble client on the XO.
Have seen my son use this and host his chat session with teammates in game play
10 years ago. It has been around for long time and works well for him.

Because of the default Fedora 18 partition limited space was reserved for the

Need to some advice in schoolserver installation, testing and actual deployment.
After XO registration on the school server.. and testing that all is well, what
is the best way to restore the schoolserver back to its virgin state for the
real deployment?
Good weekend.

Thanks for files the update and clarifications. Hope I could try it out over
the weekend. On another note ... I found for whatever reason the Ubuntu SOAS
now work and connect to schoolserver.lan
Thanks and a great VD for you all and love ones.

I was thinking that real testing of the XSCE, mesh-potatoe AP (if available),
or openWRT TP-Link could be done in the wild during the Basecamp@Malacca on
Nov 16-18. Can get direct feedback of users with the 20+ XO and other devices
from this direct/indirect stress test.
Cheers.. for BYOD
Managed to install it. Nice ansible and all the goodies for server management
How stable is the system? I am able to load the IIAB demo files (on a USB
