Could you help me with these questions? (question text pasted below)
http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=3958.msg26977#msg26977
I'd be happy to write a response, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able
to completely answer his questions.
This is what I'm assuming so far....
I'm assuming that most things that would run via USB under Fedora will
operate using the XO spin. So the printer is a high probability but I
don't know enough about USB connected LCD projectors to answer one way
or another. Worst case is that it won't work out of the box but there
may be a work around out there to get them both working.
The applications list is going to be similar to that of the Fedora Live
CD, but I don't have the final applications list yet.
And I can go into what it will take to install the card - no command
lines or terminals.

This is a really dumb question, but with Fedora 10 loaded on a SD
card, will it possible to send output directly to an LCD projector? A
printer?
And what applications will Fedora 10 come with in this release for the
XO? Is there any information on what it will take to install -- will
it be along the lines of the lengthy commands at the terminal as for
the other distributions' installations on the XO or will it be more
user friendly?
Thank you for any information you might be able to share.

LCD projectors usually connect to a VGA output, not a USB port. Having
said that, there is a USB VGA adapter, but there has been limited
success getting it to work.

If he wants to try the F10 preview live media that will give him a very
good idea as to what will be available.

For projection, VNC-ing into the XO can be a good option as well.
(using x11vnc on the xo)
Outdated instructions (most for F7):
