Computers, chameleons and catastrophes.

Hey everyone.  Matt here, typing from the Nyumbani computer lab.  Things are going well, I had a couple of classes this morning. One with some older kids learning about if/else statements.  And the second with much younger kids, learning about mice.

Jack, about Slax.  It does work.  No idea what happened the other day, but when I tried today with a bit more time I got into the GUI no problems.  What next?

Resetting the passwords was also no problem, the instructions were fine.

I have a chameleon very interested in Jeff´s printer.  Although I wory that it may get inadvertantly fried.  It´s quite young, and different to the ones we normally find here.  Any chameleon experts out there?

The inventory continues, slowly, but inexorably.  Getting into the various Nyumbani store rooms is as difficult as always.

As for catastrophes, the chameleon just fell onto the floor, but appears unharmed.

I shall call it Bungee.

All the best,

Matt

GravatarImage1 - Matt: Bungee sounds like a good choice for a mascot. I did find the same problem you had with Slax. It usually picks up everything just right, but because we are loading 100% of the OS into RAM, I guess it is a little finicky. Last week, I had Slax choke once or twice, and it required a restart to work correctly--which it did.

There is a new Slax that I'll build for you and send over.
