Well it seems that the 2nd hand laptop that I lovingly restored and installed GNU/Linux and then spent a small fortune shipping via DHL to the Cameroon has actually arrived in the Cameroon 4 days later than estimated (due to the package lying around in the Staples (DHL Service Point) Office in Torquay for 4 days). Only problem now is that they need to raise £100 customs duties in order to "release" it. Im beginning to think that it would have been cheaper to fly out with it myself. The Cameroon government putting crippling taxes on technology (2nd hand at that) is not going to help improve the educational and technical prospects for its people. I find it very Frustrating ........ Tom. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
