Oh, I forgot to mention in my last post that I’m also running two networks in my spare time. At Canon Andrea Mwaka School, we only have about 15 computers, but they’re all all old and take a lot of care and feeding to keep going. At Msalato Theological College, there are about 25 computers with a mix of old and new. Both schools get an internet connection over a wireless connection and at Msalato, we have a wireless mesh setup to distribute the wireless connection throughout the campus. I set up the mesh using Linksys WRT-54G wireless routers and an open-source software package, Freifunk, that replaces the software on the routers. The Freifunk team has about 300 of these routers spanning across Berlin to provide free internet access. Right now we only have 6 of the routers, and I hope to add 6 or 7 more over the next year to improve coverage across the whole campus. I’m also becoming an expert on Ubuntu Linux, because the Diocese is moving away from Microsoft Windows 98 to Linux to get a modern operating system. Even at the cheapest charity license of $30 per copy of Windows, the Diocese cannot afford it.
