Ubuntu CD's

by Mike Leo

I made the mistake of offering a linux basics class at work. I was going to use the Ubuntu LiveCD to get the class some hands on. This way, they could take the CD and install it if they wanted too. I figured about 5-10 responders would say they wanted to go to the class. So far about 20 people are coming. Anyone have any extra 5.1 Ubuntu CD's they can part with? I need at least 10 more now and don't have time to wait for the mail. I know I could make copies, but talking about the free-ness of it, it would be better to hand them a nice legit copy. If so, please bring them to the LUG meeting tomorow if you can. Thanks... Mike

We can always use working monitors, a p1 or p2 may be too old to be of any use though. We can also give tax receipts for donations. http://worcestercoop.org/ Patrick Sawyer On 4/10/06, Gary Hanley <gary(a)hanley.net> wrote: > > On Sun, 9 Apr 2006, John Stoffel wrote: > > Anyone have a good suggestion for a place to recycle junk computers > > cheaply.

This morning Salon.com has story on where recycled computers sometimes go: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2006/04/10/ewaste/ There's also an accompanying story on how to recycle your computer: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2006/04/10/greenguide/ You may need to agree to something to view the full articles for free if you don't have a subscription.

Jared> Ebay. Sell everything for $.99 - inevitably there's always Jared> someone out there willing to take it off your hands. I have zero interest in putting it up on Ebay, since it means I need to actually pack and ship the crap. It's just not worth it to me. But hey, if *you* want to do it, I'd be happy to give you all the stuff and you can do it. John
