the request came to me via a friend:
Hello hello,
I'm looking for working PCs that are no longer needed by
their owners. We have many students that could benefit from the hands on
learning that can only be made available through private donations. As one of
three instructors here at the Shriver Job Corps Center , I would
personally see to all systems being cleaned of private information by wiping
all internal hard drives using DOD, (Department Of Defense), Standards. Each
operating PC would then be entered into our training program for our students
as a break/fix computer.
If you know of anyone who may be interested in participating
for the sake of our students, please pass along this note. Although all
donations will be greatly appreciated it would not be a tax write-off but you
will be able to sleep better knowing that you have helped aspiring technicians
learn a trade and become active working participants in this great country of
ours.
Anyone having questions, please don't hesitate to call or
email me.
I hope you are having a great summer.
Thank You,
Ted

I have a friend looking for donations of old equipment to help out http://shriver.jobcorps.gov/, a "no-cost education and vocational training program administered by the U.S. Department of Labor that helps young people ages 16 through 24" at Devens, MA.
If anyone has any qualifying equipment, let me know and we will see about arrangements.
Thanks much, Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have just 'upgraded' to Fedora Core 9 and seem to be having some issues opening some of the apps. Some apps say that they're starting and then just quit without any indication as to what is going on. yumex returns an error message:

1. How did you do the upgrade? Via the boot CD/installer? Did you use PreUpgrade? 2. What release did you upgrade from? I did find this forum post: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=193507
Upgraded from 8 to 9, via DVD. I didn't use the PreUpgrade (didn't
even know about it).
Thanks!
