The OLPC XS is a server computer for schools. It is being designed by the One Laptop per Child non-profit to provide the OLPC XO laptop computers with network connectivity for backups, anti-theft leases, web browsing, etc. The XS will use an energy-efficient design that does not require moving parts for basic functionality. It will be mildly ruggedized.
The CPU will be a PowerPC G4.
The system will boot from flash memory, which is far less likely to fail than a hard disk. Hard disks will be provided for storing a library of local content and for making backups of the children's data. The XS is intended to ship with one hard disk installed, and a second to serve as either a spare or for increased capacity. The second is not installed by default because this would consume extra power.
There will be three 802.11s wireless mesh connections. Each will be a USB device with a 3 meter (10 foot) cable, allowing good antenna placement (high, unobstructed) and good server placement (dry, secure).
