I am a new user at Orbit-Lab. I'm jumping in this thread to offer my 
modest help for updating the online documentation (as time permits). In 
fact, I tried the various tutorial on sb1 this week-end and ... failed. 
Apparently, the tutorial are not fully up-to-date (I don't know where 
the results of the experiments goes and did not found the expected mysql 
database).

Just to give feedback on my first experiment on sanbox1 :

What I have succeeded is :
- switch on/off both machine (pretty cool)
- use the telnet service to access console (pretty cool to see the 
BIOS/PXE/GRUB...)
- use the imaging tool
- install a custom kernel (2.6.34-rc3-wl with ath5k compiled by myself!)

What I failed :
- use the OML framework to start an experiment and get results.

Regards,
Benoit
