I'm collecting computers for Burmese refugees here in town and loading Linux Ubuntu on them. I've had quite a few offers, so I figured a meetup was in order to collect the machines. Third Base actually has a parking lot, so it should be a good spot to transfer the computers Just walk inside and look for a sign that says "PenguinAid".

Please ensure that any machine you offer:
1.) is in fully functioning working order. I would love to take as many machines as possible, but please bear in mind that I am doing this in my spare time and do not have the time or the money to put together computers on my own and
2.) meets these minimum requirements:
* 1.2 GHz x86 processor
* 384 MB of system memory (RAM)
*8 GB of disk space
*Supported graphics card

If you could load Ubuntu on them upfront, it would be most helpful. It is actually quite easy and does not take too much time.

I can offer a tax receipt/pat on back to anyone offering machines. I'm looking forward to seeing you there!
