The laptop boxes were huge, and I think we bent the laws of physics in our efforts to get them into our 2-door car along with 2 flat panel monitors and the cart we used to carry them.<\/p>\n<p>The laptops are all Thinkpads, a mix of X61s and T43s. The hardware could do with some cleaning up due to some dust buildup, but it should be no problem to get Ubuntu running on them. I grabbed two of them to give to James Howard who is working on setting up an imaging server using Ubuntu 12.04 rather than the old 10.04 which we&#8217;re still using on many of the systems at the schools, free education on free software!<\/p>\n<p>I took a quick picture of the two laptops while they were staying at my home this week:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/082012\/cacs_thinkpads_aug_2012.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/082012\/cacs_thinkpads_aug_2012_sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p>After dropping the laptops off at <a href=\"http:\/\/creativeartscharter.org\/\">Creative Arts Charter School<\/a> we ordered a pizza and headed back to KIPP. At KIPP we finished running the ethernet cables and applying updates to the Ubuntu 10.04 systems in a 5th grade math classroom. I was delighted to learn that the computers in that room are in part being used to view <a href=\"http:\/\/www.khanacademy.org\/\">Khan Academy<\/a> Math videos.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/082012\/kipp_classroom_aug_2012.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/082012\/kipp_classroom_aug_2012_sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p>It was 5PM by the time we finished running the cables and doing the system updates and we had to leave the building. In all a very productive day. Christian also wrote about it over on the Partimus blog, along with work last weekend that I couldn&#8217;t help with (other obligations last Saturday): <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.partimus.org\/?p=357\">30 hours of work in just a few days<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Friday Christian Einfeldt put a call out to the Partimus Discussion list asking for some help moving the laptop donation from Intuit from his office (where they were delivered) to the school.
