In order to become a Zero Dollar Laptop your old laptop will need:-
* a working screen
* processor-a minumum 1GHz Pentium 3, Athlon, Celeron.
* 256 (but more ideally 512) ram
* wireless card would be helpful
We can help you to work this stuff out if you are not sure.
Then we can organise a London or Sheffield pick-up or drop-off in
January 2010
About Zero Dollar Laptop
The Zero Dollar Laptop is a recycled computer, running Free Open Source
Software (FOSS) that is fast and effective- now and long into the
future.
In January 2010 we kick off ZDLT in London with clients of a charity for
homeless people; recycling hardware, breaking Windows and installing
FOSS. We will build media laptops and then use them to create music,
graphics and video for distribution over the Internet. Participants will
leave the project with street-smart technical knowledge and a wireless
enabled media laptop, classier than any shiny power-book.
Participants will also be invited to take part in wider ZDLT cultural
activities: music making, public exhibitions and publications.
