[Ubuntu-US-CA] Looking To Donate AMD Athlon II 2x260WithUbuntu12.04 LTS

Sat Mar 8 14:34:55 UTC 2014

To Christopher & All,

Sorry for posting this so publicly; this one needs be.  The last machine
went successfully to it's new and thrilled owner w/ a hardened Ubuntu 12
LTS build and the experience while entirely lacking in financial
remuneration paid dividends of the heart.

Now for the next 'Pay It Forward' gig, I need a gig!  Specifically 1GB
PC2100 RAM; a generous member is sending me 1GB already, but I want to make
the new machine for Christopher not only securely hardened but capable as
well which in the case of 12 LTS (Precise) really means 2GB minimum.  Sure
it'll 'run' on 1GB but no extra special flair; I find the flair important
in spreading the Ubuntu LOVE!

I've got too much spare RAM to list here; perhaps in future we can pool
parts for needy souls, but now in need a gig somebody...

Peter the Geek
