Dear Linux List People, As the end of the semester approaches, I thought I might put out the word that I have been collecting donations of used computers and trying to put them to good use. This is a very informal thing so far, but over the past two semesters, I have been able to distribute about four computers to people who could use them---two even running Linux. So far it's been people I've known in some way--through church or school or through friends, so I can't claim that I have a system for the most equitable distribution of hardware, but I can claim that each person had a need.
I could probably do something with any computer with USB ports (that seems to be a good dividing line between REALLY old and just not fast any longer), and in the past I've used about 300 MHz as a cut-off as well. People have given me a couple older computers, but so far I've only used them for parts, and Carol would get mad at me if too many of those started to appear in the basement. Still... In any case, get in touch with me if you're interested. I'd also be interested to know if anyone knows a place that accepts old computer equipment for recycling or disposal (for the above-mentioned REALLY old equipment that I can't use).
