- Where is the Expo computer?
- I think Mark has supplied the box in the past- is it at his place? We have been long-term-lent two ruggedized tablet PCs- there is little reason to carry both of these up to top camp. One option would be to just plug the monitor, keyboard, etc into the second tablet pc.
- Can we have standard Ubuntu on it this year? From what I saw last year the restrictions on sudoers caused mainly inconvenience - is there a reason for this? Ollie s
- I have a reliable Ubuntu machine that can be borrowed, needs a bigger hard drive but I could sort that. P4/2GbRam It's a desktop so only space for one aditional hard drive. USB though. Would be able to bring it to the rescue/dinner weekend where it could be taken to Cambs and have all required software installed/updated/tested etc.--Frank 20:14, 28 May 2008 (BST)
Scanner
If I remember correctly, the scanner doesn't work well- we were having to capture surveys with digital cameras which is not ideal. I can't remember if it was just slow or actually didn't work. Do we want to get a new scanner?
- I have a scanner (A4) at home that I could bring. It's a Canon Canoscan LiDE 20, which IIRC works out of the box with Ubuntu. Ollie s
Printer
There is a printer at base camp. Hopefully it has sufficient ink?
