After a morning filled with technological defeats, we think we have replaced a Linux box with a working and activated copy of Windows XP. Moses is SO happy! We haven't cleared all of the hurdles, but this is a big one. It didn't look good earlier...
Amazingly, the Eee PC that my boss, Sam, let me take along has somehow not been thrown against the wall yet. I've reinstalled the system, ran out of room, had every device port filled and dealt with devices working sometimes and other times not. That all being SAID, though, I am writing this post on it while connected to a '236.8Kbps' Edge network connection (one of several USB modems that they have out here). Trust me - it isn't 236.8kilobits per ANYthing, but it's something.
I'm still trying to get some audio uploaded from chapel this morning, and will keep trying. The modem doesn't really like the 800kb file.
We also reinstalled the administrators laptop (Mbuvi) because he had a nasty virus on it called the 'odinga' virus. We made a fake copy of a document and brought him in to look at his 'fresh' laptop thinking that it had gotten the virus again. When he opened the document to see, he was greeted with a nice 'GOT YOU MBUVI!' Hahaha... good times...

I figure, if you can put windows on Linux, you should be able to put Linux back on eeePC just as well ;-)

Jerram,
Oh My...Running with the Kenyans on those uneven "roads"...soon you will be running barefooted. What a way to start your day...running ...AND...singing with the Kenyans.
Warning: They play "futbol" as if the field is made of Astro Turf...It's Not!
I have had fun with these guys from day one. I have come to learn a whole encyclopedia just within hours followed by days.
