Hi Matt & David,

Now that i have received the donated hardware and confirmed their specs, 
this solution would be the best option to me as well. I went to the 
school on Friday and picked up the donated hardware.

In total i received 10 computers(5 each of the below) & 1 networked 
laser printer:
5x desktops with Celeron 2.4 Ghz, 2GB and 40 GB HD
5 towers with Intel Pentium D 2.53 Ghz, 2 GB RAM & 60 GB HD.
Plus 1 Xerox Phaser 840 laser printer with a few spare toners. Untested, 
but said to be working before being placed in a storage. I am not 
familiar with these and don't know how well they are supported in linux 
if at all they are. I only saw Solaris drivers on Xerox's website.

I have only had time to take out a couple of the computers, clean them 
out and test. Both worked well and hopefully the remainder will be just 
as fine. I will have some time next weekend and inspect them all.

Cheers
Faisal
