Looking for 2 underprivileged rocker / computer geeks here in ABQ. I have put together 2 complete (box, monitor, mouse, keyboard) Linux systems out of other people's trash and would like to give them away to the right home.

Specs:

OS: Ubuntu 5.10, fresh install + multimedia codecs, firewall, & WINE.
RAM: 128 MB
HD: 6 GB
Network Card: YES
CDROM: YES

These are not really appropriate for casual Windows users but would make a great first (frickin' free!) machine for someone starting out with Linux. I might even throw on a drum machine / sequencing package. Also, the resale value of the hardware is pretty much shit so they won't get you much dope. So don't bother...

Any takers? You must not already have a computer and should probably show at least some rudimentary knowledge / interest in Linux... No, I'm not going to quiz you or inspect your house but try to be convincing.

I would be very interested since I've been contemplating building a linux box to familiarize myself with that OS. Many of my pc geeks friends rave about it anyhow.

great. You are winner number 1. I'm a fan of your group as well, so that clinched it. If you post or send me your # we can arrange the pickup...

It looks like they're both spoken for at this point. Sorry. If something falls through with either, Aaron will be next on the list.

Also I plan on building some more over the next few months, so just keep an eye out for "Free Computers 2.0"
