Hi guys<div><br></div><div>A while ago I told on the meeting that the company where my father works is going to change their hardware. Employees can ask to keep their pc, but those that don't go away (most likely almost al of them) are ours to keep. We are as a matter of fact the only organization who asked to get some of these computers. My initial request was 20 PC's and a couple of Laptops for Ubuntu-be, but that was only a target number. The IT guy told us that we might even get some more out of it. Although this last fact remains uncertain, we can be certain that we'll have some hardware.</div>
<div><br></div><div>All computers come with 2 TFT screens (according to my dad either 17,4" or 19"), the screens are adjustable in height and can rotate to have a portrait instead of a landscape setup.</div><div>
<br></div><div>But there is some good and some bad news to it. The bad news is that there is a condition! </div><div>The good news is that the condition is that we need to provide them with an Installable Ubuntu USB stick and a user manual (preferably in 4 Languages). This is because all computers, even those that don't come with us, are going to be running Ubuntu when they leave the office. Every employee who takes one of those computers will receive a printed manual.. ;-)</div>
<div><br></div><div>It didn't look like a bad deal to me. :p</div><div>So I said we could live with that! ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>I'll keep you all posted!</div><div>Latest news I got was that their new servers where slightly delayed and the new laptops need to be configured to automatically connect etc.. The guy told my dad that he was expecting our first computers to leave somewhere in may and the last somewhere in June. (which is worse that the initial April estimate but better than the in between August estimate...)</div>
