ComputerBank (NSW or otherwise)
Hello everyone. I have been thinking the last few days about various things, my future being one of them, and have come to a general conclusion that I could do a ComputerBank type of thing for my local area. I have thought about this since suggesting to Jared with his LiveCD idea. I only have one problem with it, I can't seem to get into the ComputerBank NSW website. Does anyone know if they have one still? If so what is the current, working, website address? My plan is, of course, to offer 2nd hand donated PCs and laptops that have been checked and all serial numbers documented to worthy recipients. i.e. people who cannot afford a PC. They would, again of course, come with Ubuntu (probably 10.04 LTS) and be setup for ease of use ootb. i.e. codecs for music and video already installed, a calender like Sunbird already installed, full OpenOffice, etc. It would also come with an Ubuntu folder in /home that would contain the Ubuntu Beginners Guide and other relevant information. At the moment I'm just thinking out loud so to speak. I obviously have to contact various possible donating groups to obtain the core stock and that will take a little bit of time I think. Does anyone else here have any experience with this type of thing? Am I heading, so far as it is only the planing stage, on the right track? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Re: ComputerBank (NSW or otherwise)
The ComputerBank (cbnsw) apparently no longer maintains a website. Perhaps they had to cut costs. You can reach them (perhaps) on 02 4951 4948. Would the resources on the following URLs be of help to you? http://www.expresspcparts.com.au/ http://www.recompute.com.au/c/computer_specials/9.html http://www.cnet.com.au/what-a-waste-australian-tech-recycling-options-limited_p2-339277923.htm Andre On 20 March 2010 15:32, Michael keltoi...@gmail.com wrote: Hello everyone.

You may also try http://freelinuxbox.org/ started in the US but they have entries for Belgium and Finland at the moment.
