olpc hack station

So it's been two or three years since i got my OLPC and i'm finally getting aroiund to doing something with it.

Irritation #1- the Sugar interface. Well by being a dawdler the latest OS update, 10.1.2, includes an option to use a gnome desktop. Saves me the trouble of loading open box or completely trashing the native OS. (not to say that may have it's own benefits, i'm just lazy)

So. Apparently since the XO laptop is based on fedora, the delivered nmap rpm appears to load right up and run flawlessly.

Need to look at my hard drive space and determine what tools i can load and create a nice little scanner. One downside being the novelty of the hardware detracts from being non-obvious, as it does garner random interest and questions. Yes, it is a real laptop, No it is not a toy (well okay i'll maybe give you the second one).

More later........

Now to give nessus a go.
