I've been assembling computer systems from donated/scavenged components, installing Linux and then giving them away on Freecycle to folks who are glad to receive them, no matter how humble the machine. I naturally prefer to obtain otherwise functional systems whose only affliction is the presence of Microsoft products on the disk (easily cured) but I've also created some Frankenstein monsters with components from several other carcasses.
So, if you're tossing a machine (or usable components thereof) please consider sending me a description and I might be able to put all or part of it back into service instead of it ending up wasted in a landfill. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
