Build 'em Right, Build 'em Strong, Build 'em Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| This past week alone, we were able to build 6 complete computers and set them 
| in homes of kids who need them. This past week, there are six kids who can be 
| taken off the "alternative assignments list" at school because they don't 
| have to raise their hands when asked:   
| 
| "Who doesn't have a computer at home?"

| With his non-profit organization called Alameda County Computer Resource 
| Center, he built up a volunteer organization, collects donated stuff from the 
| companies who provide them, strips any proprietary OS and software off the 
| drives, re-installs everything with Linux and free applications, and then
| gives them to schools or other not-for-profit organizations or individuals 
| without too much cash.
