[Tfug] tfug Digest, Vol 97, Issue 3

[Paul Steinbach]

I am that "tech" pretty much by default.  No one else was interested.  
The problem now that they are closed weekends.

Please let me know what you are looking for and I will set some machines 
out so you can look.  Most machines now are single- or dual CPU P4 Xeons 
with 1G or so of ECC RAM.  Usually tower.  Probably have 4 of these- 
mostly Dells.  Also have some RISC Suns.

I usually throw a base install of Fedora or Ubuntu to show they work.

Still could use help on computer swap meet.  Will try to be a next Happy 
Hour to get ideas and explain what we hope to do.  Start going through 
all the stuff you said you were going to rid of last year.....

Paul
