[sf-lug] the bin full of laptops

[jim stockford]

    I tho't some of you'd be interested, after the noise,
that this is actually in the works.

    the mysterious person has given me, jim, the bin
full of laptops with the expressed wish to pass them
out to veterans, per Susan's request.
    I've got to gussy them up a bit--get the old data off,
put linux on, one needs a hard drive (which is
coming, compliments of the mysterious person).
    The linux distro that I'm considering is Ubuntu.
Anybody got opinions?
    the laptops do not have wi-fi, so wi-fi is a matter
of getting PCMCIA cards. Opinions are welcome.
