Univeristy PC running Win 7, internet sharing verboten
Shhh Ubuntu box has two network cards
Uni guys not too bad, have two officially internet connection allowed Pi's.
Mainly used for updating my versions of Raspbian and Ubuntu Mate.
Real reason I use RPi's and piCore is to learn how to do Linux without a net.
Allows me to make low cost hardware instruments and gadgets.
Out in the field sometimes no net access.
Test hardware with scripting.
Been learning how to write the running software with zero or minimum library's.
Good practice for emerging IoT gadgets to learn how to do low memory footprint OS's
Using 30MB OS on 128MB SD card instead of 4GB on 8GB card.
Discovered how to do lots with just the Kernel, busybox and some scripts.
Ran up against shell scripts speed issues, hence the investigation into other languages like Micropython and Lua.
