▪ Default for bigger cards should probably be something like putting 65% of free
space on /usr/local (EXT) and 35% on /home (FAT)
Multi Code
The idea: One R_pi will be connected to another and both can work on the same code.py.
So that way say a teacher wanted to help a student with code without taking over. They
can just plug there pi in to the students and go through checking for mistakes ect.
The Conection: Conection will probably be via Ethernet using an ad hoc Network.
Whats needed?: The program needs to open .py files and edit them. Next it needs to
make a shered file that is updated every time a character changes. A different program (or
same does not matter) should then connect to this file and update it in the same way.
Every 10 seconds both pi's reload the shared file, thus have the same code. If the changes
contradict each other then the host pi will override the connected pi.
Why not just use VNC?
How much of this "collaborative editing" is already built into Sugar? [1]

For something a little less intrusive/immediate, a DVCS like mercurial or git keeps
people from stepping on each other's toes.
Further evolutions: once/if the initial goals are acheved then further developments to the
project would include making the systom compleatly live so there in no 10 second delay
to each update. And make it posibal to connect the pi's via the Internet.
The initial task: The first stage In this project is to make a file browser that can open and
edit .py files.
