One thing that Dutchess County does with it's old comptuers is give them to a local charity that ships them to Africa, I just heard from one of my co-workers who has a sister in this charity that they recently received about 50 computers, but they all need operating systems. From the conversation I gathered that this is a group of people accustomed to working with Microsoft products, but I mentioned to my co-worker that linux is free. She's going to give me her sisters contact info later, but I was wondering if anyone had any interest in helping load up 50 or so machines with linux, maybe show the people at the charity how to do it themselves. I don't know any details beyond that at this point, but just wanted to get a sense of the interest in the group as to much help (if any) I'd have doing something like this.
