Stormy, Avni, Hermes, Fernando, and I went back to 18 de Marzo to set up the networking, install more new computers (for a grand total of 9), and try upgrading the older computers with different methods. We also brought a Mac laptop and networking equipment to create a local network that would have access to Rachel, Khan Academy, and Wikipedia content.

Originally we were using CDs to install the OS and a USB flash drive with games and educational material. Several of the CD drives wouldn’t work or we couldn’t switch up the boot order. Avni made bootable USBs and that worked on several of the computers. We also had an external CD/DVD drive. Most of the computers were upgraded, but we had to stick with the older version for 2-3 of the computers.

Finally, we pulled aside a few of the computers to move to Manuel Gonzalez Gatica the following day.

I finished working on installs around 3:30 and headed to the coffee shop near the hotel to sort photos and publish my blog for Escuela: Ricardo Flores Magon.

After Hermes, Fernando, and Avni finished the network (around 7PM), we went out for a group dinner. I had a delicious dinner of triangulitos and toastadas.

  That evening I played Scrabble Dados with Fernando and Hunter that evening and Hermes headed back to Oaxaca.
