Digital inclusion activists - This morning I bought a nice Core i3 Chromebook for $43. After installing GalliumOS Linux (a custom version of Xubuntu, designed specifically for Chromebooks), I'm going to resell the laptop for the same price I paid for it.

(I'm paying for the shipping.) If so, send me an email off-list telling me about your digital inclusion work. phil After the GalliumOS install, this Chromebook will have about 90 percent of the capabilities of a MacBook Air -- with the same light weight. It will run LibreOffice, Firefox, and Chrome very well. I'll also install OBS Studio, the wonderful free screencasting program. I recently used OBS Studio to create this screencast for my job.
