Introduction
Unimas are going to propose proposing a project to install ePingER hosts in remote Sarawak communities such as Bario in the Kelabit highlands. Initially these would simply be PingER targets responding to pings. Later depending on bandwidth availabilty etc. They could also be turned into PingER monitoring hosts and a web site.

UNIMAS went with the Raspberry Pie.

Johari is exploring creating a custom built Ubuntu/PingER installation. Based on what he learnt from giving the tutorial on installing PingER he is improving the process. The idea is that if we could get a corporate sponsor then we could send preconfigured PingER monitor units to new monitoring sites to simplify things.

We tried again in July 2014. Since the SBC does not have CMOS battery on-board we had to use NTP to keep time.
