Obtaining hardware for demos

[Jeremy Wahl]

What do you think we should use for hardware in our demonstrations?

I think decent specs for systems would be:
-at least 128MB RAM
-Intel, ATI, or NVIDIA graphics
-wired network adapter

We can upgrade or replace some of the parts if we need to.

We can try to get some from the following places:
-Our personal stash
-People we know
-Freecycle mailing lists (http://www.freecycle.org)
-Craigslist (http://www.craigslist.org)
-Keep or borrow hardware from schools

If you use Freecycle, make sure you read their rules, including the
number of requests you can make in a certain time period and not
asking for anything too new/powerful/rare.

The reason I'm asking this question is that I feel we shouldn't use
our production machines for the demos.  We should just have what's on
the discs and a few things from the official repository.  I'll discuss
more about the software configuration in another message
