Time to Help an Open Source Hero
,----[ Quote ]
| I've given $10, which may not be much, but if just a few dozen Linux Journal
| readers did the same, his hospital bills would be covered, and there might
| even be some money left over for the HeliOS Project too.

16,000 Linux computers delivered - for free
,----[ Quote ]
| 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. Â
|
| A great man with a great mission. CNN called him a hero already.
