I have 2 older fuji lifebooks that fit these criteria that I can bring up to Santa Fe this weekend since I'll be there already. I will boot them on a live USB to see if the hardware is compatible before I wipe them. If they have linux compatible hardware, I'll need someone's contact info to find out where to take them. - James On Wed, Jan 25, 2017 at 12:06 PM Mark Galassi <mark@galassi.org> wrote:

Dear nmglugers,

On February 4th and 5th I will be teaching my programming course for kids.

This course requires bringing in an old computer to install GNU/Linux, and I try to keep a stash of laptops for students from poor families who cannot get hold of an old machine.

People from nmglug have been really generous in finding old laptops and donating them. I have even been able to donate a couple of laptops to particularly enthusiastic students who had no computer at home.

If you have one that you are sure you will never use again, please consider donating it for the course. Anything that will run ubuntu 12.04 is fine (1gig of RAM and up).

And if you know kids (6th grade and up for this course) who might be interested please pass the information to them. Web site with flyers and full instructor's manual is here:
