[Sig] Library Computers

[Jeff Zartler]

The Whitehall Library is replacing some computers and has offered the 
old ones for sale to us for $20 including a mouse, keyboard and 15 
inch monitor.  I was told that they are Dell Optiplex PII's and 
PIII's.  AFAIK there are 5 left.  I picked up two Tuesday night after 
the meeting.  Turns out they were PII 350's with 128MB (only 2 
sockets with a 64MB SIMM in each) of ram, 6GB harddrive, CD reader, 
floppy, sound, and NIC

I tried a Mandriva One live CD in one of them and it worked fine.  
Loaded Xandros v3 into the other and it seems to be working fine 
also.  

Here's a cheap way for some of you to acquire an inexpensive computer 
with which to explore Linux.  Wouldn't hurt to add a bit more ram if 
you have some lying around.

If you are interested please contact the Whitehall Library directly.  
The number is 610-432-4339, ask for Jim.
