Setting up Adult screen/keys on OLPC

ok, now how do I work on the OLPC?

using Xming on windows, or just X on my linux machines (which have adult style keyboards)

I go to the terminal activity and export DISPLAY=myhost:0.0

then xterm
that works.  Also lets me give the laptop back to Tara;)

Have not added passwords or setup system so I can ssh into it directly...

Got firefox 2.0.0.11 running, with my own local copy of the older libraries I had on another system.

also "mc"

should I put Perl and gcc on it?
that may be overkill, I think I'll use my other linux system to compile, and just make sure I use the correct flags.

Now need to find a good python game site...
