[ubuntu-uk] Some good publicity about Ubuntu

[Rob Beard]

Hi folks,

Having read through the follow up article on that woman who had Dell 
laptop running Ubuntu, I found this in the comments...

It's a nice story about Ubuntu.  It appears that a soilder in Fort Sill, 
Oklahoma has been refurbishing old PCs and passing them on to school 
students.  It's nice to see some nice coverage other than the on going 
flame war on the WKOW web site.

Does anyone do anything similar here in the UK?

The nearest I have got to this is the Exwick Community Centre project 
although I'd love to do something like Freegeek (www.freegeek.org) but I 
wouldn't know where to start looking to get funding for such a project.
