OLPC XO operating system, clean-install:

Linux WiMAX Drivers:

XOHM Developers Community, XOHM-DC Initiative Discussion:
http://developer.xohm.com/community/thread/1063

The intent is to a clean install of Build 767 (8.2.0) with the WiMAX 1.3.0 driver for Linux. Our validation process:
1. Does the OLPC XO connect to XOHM?
2. Having connected, can the OLPC XO mesh network to other OLPC in the vicinity?
3. Does the internet connection on these neighboring OLPC work using the meshed XOHM connection?

Stay tuned!

I need to wait 24 hours before I’ll get a developer key to unlock this OLPC XO, but I’m looking at going in several different directions. Here’s what I’m looking at this instant:

Ubuntu 8.04 for OLPC:

Ubuntu Mobile for OLPC:

Linux Drivers for XOHM:

“Sugar is fine and dandy, but its nice to have the option to run something a little less sweet. Unfortunately, with a 433mhz Geode and 256mb of RAM, its kind of a stretch to run a real desktop environment like Gnome or KDE on an XO, and even XFCE is a bit heavy. Luckily, with low powered UMPCs coming out in abundance, there is a lot of development going on for these kinds of devices. Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded Edition shows a lot of promise, as you get the massive number of packages available for Ubuntu in a distro designed for low power and small screens. So, this is a guide on installing and running Ubuntu Mobile on an SD card on an OLPC XO. Ubuntu Mobile is still very much alpha software and is designed for touchscreens, but it’s generally usable and quite speedy.”

Great idea. Is the idea to have one subscription to XOHM and share it with other XO's in the vicinity? Over WiFi or WiMAX?
