Ideas of how to intercept "scrapped" machines of this nature? I'd love to have a hobby of installing newbie-friendly Linux distros on machines like this and giving them away.
Come to think of it, I know some folks who run IT departments I could probably ask.
- bitwize 3y agoThere's also a charity called Free Geek that does exactly this: https://freegeek.org https://freegeek.org They're local to Portland, OR, so if that's not your stomping grounds maybe ask them for advice?
- debo_ 3y agoThanks for the idea. There's something similar in my city that I was thinking of getting in touch with as well.
