[DC LoCo] Ubuntu for someone with Down syndrome

[Sanjay Jain]

Hi Jeff,

I have the computers, 5 of them, better ones are P4 with 512mb ram - I'm giving them away as part of a re-use program (if any one wants one, give me a shout).

My question was; should I or should I not, give them an Ubuntu box?

Intellectual property can stimulate innovation, so can war... in both cases the negatives don't justify the 'progress'.... In recent times, humanity has spent more effort in producing smaller mp3 players and cell-phones than clean water and sanitation for everybody... isn't it time to reevaluate how we motivate people?
