Questions for Intel
sonic notepad driver & application
- mesh networking plans / requirements
- does h/w suport it ?
- is there a driver
- support infrastructure
- how do we envisage the structure and layers
- what reponsibility for each party
- vendor
- intel
- canonical
- the zdnet education testing said that he got:
- a 2.0 GB version for windows
- a 2.5 GB version for linux
- our supplied h/w is 2 GB
- can you comment on this ?
- what is the future plan (by 2008.04 ?)
- in general are there any changes we should be aware of ?
- next gen hardware
- please confirm
- 9 inch screen
- what resolution
- internal hard drive
- what RAM
- will this supercede the current h/w or will it be a different h/w choice
- please confirm
- if the ClassmatePC is produced by an OEM and not Intel
- will the specs be identical to the intel version ?
