I started life as an archaeologist before retraining in IT and have wide experience of work in the voluntary / not for profit and continuing education sectors in Scotland where I am usually based. This has included database design, hardware support, software support, website design and tuition.
From 2009 - 2010 I was in Nairobi, Kenya as Assistive Technology Tutor with the Kenyan Society for the Blind. Then came two years in Ethiopia, working with the Addis Ababa HIV / AIDS Prevention and Control Office and the Ethiopian Midwives Association. My most recent stint abroad was another two years in Papua New Guinea as Provincial Capacity Building ICT Advisor on a United Nations Development Program / Ministry of Finance project. For now I am back in Scotland and a part time Open University tutor.

Thanks so much Stephan. I am helping cover the techsupport forum for an Open University (www.open.ac.uk) operating systems module where students have to install raspberry pi linux on Virtual Box. This article will be a useful resource to point folks to.
Thanks for this Seth, I still recommend Puppy linux to people and used Knoppix Adriane back during my time with The Kenya Society for the Blind. The introduction of uefi boot in modern machines is a pain though.
