Go through the "zombie" computers or find good ones from the "triage" pile of incoming donations. If it has a sticker for an XP license we can reinstall and use that license key. If not, we've been installing Ubuntu. Username/password for sales boxes are "user" and "password" (not secure, we hope users will change this right away). Price them at what you think is fair and they will sell for, tag them, and put them in the window. > > 4. use an external drive, and make an *organized* archive of all data > > from the "Retail Computer" (front room, dual-boot XP/Ubuntu) so that > > Matthew can migrate the data to the new server, and replace the Retail > > Computer with a newer one he's been working on, with Ubuntu and running > > XP in VirtualBox > > Not sure how to tackle this. Will probably take more than one volunteer. We need to replace that machine, which means we need to get all the data off it (and make a note of any required software for specific needs). Data has been added over several years by several dozen volunteers. In Microsoft Word, there is at least one macro which allows a new invoice to be generated with sequential invoice numbers which are also used as the document name. > > 5. size/wipe boxes of drives > > Can do. > > > 6. probably lots more, but that's what comes to mind right now > > As always. Something else has come to mind -- the new kids classes start on January 31. At that time we are an all-Ubuntu (no more Debian) program. So what shape are the classroom computers in? Do we leave the Debian partition for convenience? Is everything installed on Ubuntu that will be needed for the new curriculum? Darren, Bill, and a few others were working on getting a final Ubuntu install ready for us to make our image for cloning from. Not sure of the status of that. And thanks to all of you who will be there tonight. Theresa
