- jacquesm 17y agotrue, but you could bring a usb stick with ubuntu NBR on it and use that instead. It's my favourite way of taking a computer with me when I don't want to bring a laptop. All my tools and stuff exactly where I expect it and no chance of having my email or ssh stuff compromised because of some nifty keyboard sniffing virus in an internet cafe. Usually the owners don't mind the reboot.
- salvadors 17y agoI'll be spending most of the trip in countries where I don't speak the language, though, so trying to explain what I'm doing to them could be interesting, especially if there are network settings to configure etc.
- jacquesm 17y agoI've done this in Colombia with good success and believe me my spanish is non-existent. As long as you pay was usually the attitude. The more advanced internet cafe's (usually with a card based system where you buy a pre-paid card with some time on it) are more difficult.
