Re: [ubuntu-uk] Freecycle / Ubuntu tie-up????
I just put in a request for an old Compaq Presario that someone was offering up on Hull Freecycle to get the ball rolling and see if this is feasible. Chris -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

His comments: I buy PC's to refurbish. I've tried to pass them on with Linux based operating systems and people are not interested. I know they should be, but there not. Meh...

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Freecycle / Ubuntu tie-up????
Facebook isn't evil; for us students, it's a way of life. I'll join, but that probably means I'll need to join a freecycle soon (i.e. when I get back to London for the start of college again). I want to build myself a desktop for my new flat anyway.
