need to borrow old laptops for course this weekend
Dear nmglugers, I am teaching another of my courses this weekend: https://sites.google.com/site/santafecoding/ and I have had a lot of sign-ups from families who do not have an old laptop to give their kids. My stash of loaners will not be enough. Does anyone have any old laptops they could lend me for the weekend? The kids would install a new gnu/linux distro on it and use it Saturday and Sunday. I will come by Warehouse 21 this evening at some point.
I realize that this response is too late for the specific event, but for future reference, how old would be 'too old'? Another way of asking would be, what distribution are you having them install? - Michael Bernstein On Sep 17, 2015 11:21 AM, "Mark Galassi" <mark@galassi.org> wrote:
