http://wiki.laptop.org is probably the best place to look for 
documentation. 

You can get to a console by pressing ctrl-alt-f1 or ctrl-alt-f2, f1 and f2 
being the first and second keys on the first large button on the top row. 
Either that or use the terminal activity. 

If you have a developer key, you can also boot from an ext3-formatted USB 
drive.

I'd like to see it (maybe I'll actually show up for a meeting!)  I'm 
curious how the keyboard compares with the XO keyboard. 

It's going to be interesting to see what happens now that Mary Lou Jepsen 
has spun off a company to commercialize the low-power display technology 
in the XO...
