Hi, And yet again the LUG Uganda held one of its succesfull gatherings last friday. Even though our planned speakers were held up (far) away from Kampala, we were able to have some good stuff on the projector.
First of all, Kyle brought his brandnew debian-powered Nokia N900. With a small cable we could connect this to the projector and enjoy all its features on the big screen. This includes multiple desktops, multitasking, chat/skype/email, an FM transmitter, an OSM editor and many more small features that make this linux device outshine even the iPhone. (Like shutting off the display when you hold the phone to your ear when calling, to save power). The second device of the day was John Kibuka's EeePC. He got fed up with the propriatary OS that was installed and wanted to upgrade to EasyPeacy, an ubuntu based distro especially developed for netbooks. We had to solve some issues with USB sticks on the spot but managed to boot from one of them eventually. And EasyPeacy looks slick! Way more adapted to the small screen than the previous solution. A true recommendation. We also worked on getting an MTN modem running on Kai's ubuntu machine so there was a lot of hands on going on. Which is the whole point of the LUG meet: having fun and sharing knowledge. CU all next month! -- rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
