Why invest so much money in a box when you could buy a big ten pack of 4-8GB Thumbdrives for a fraction of the cost and not increase FreeGeek's power consumption? Last time I was at the Costco here in NE they had ten pack's for around $40 and with ten you could have two copies of every major distro. -- Benjamin Kerensa, Team Lead Ubuntu Oregon www.ubuntu-oregon.org | [email protected] "I am what I am because of who we all are" - Ubuntu _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
