[ubuntu-uk] This came in on the local Freecycle

[Mark Harrison]

Hi all,

The following just came in on our local Freecycle. (www.freecycle.org to
find your local group.)

===================================================
OFFER: Complete working PC

Made almost entirely out of Freecycled parts:

Midi-tower Pentium III 600Mhz with 192Mb RAM and a small but adequate
hard disk, with (v. good but fairly large) Dell/Trinitron 17" CRT
monitor & graphics card, CD and DVD reader drives, keyboard mouse and
speakers.

Runs Windows XP fine, but currently has the latest release of Ubuntu
Linux installed. Ideal to learn Linux on, or maybe as a "homework" PC
for the kids.
===================================================  

I'm just flagging it up as I thought it was an ideal way to promote Ubuntu!

If you have an old PC that you no longer need, why not install Ubuntu on 
it,
and offer it up to your local Freecycle group?

Kudos to "Martin in East Grinstead" who made the offer on Freecycle Crawley.
