| I assembled 4 computers with a help of my
| trusted friend. I installed Ubuntu in it.
| This roughly cost me around $2500 (Rs 1
| lakh plus). Then the other expenses cost me
| the other half ($2500). I was lucky that my
| garage did turn out to be a excellent place
| for my new business. Without free software
| this task would have been impossible.
|
| All who learn computers in my garage really
| do like GNU/Linux. I havenât heard a single
| complaint from them that its tough and not
| Windowish. Unlike windows, programs are
| arranged neatly in menus like Accessories,
| Internet etc. I find students learn very
| easily.

Free Geek: Donate Old Computers, Volunteer for a Free Computer
,----[ Quote ]
| What would an old computer be good for? The refurbished
| computers are older models but nothing obsolete, and are
| loaded with open source, minimalist software like the
| Ubuntu operating system. An older computer running Ubuntu
| is almost as fast as a modern machine running pretty but
| heavyweight Windows, and there's barely a difference
| between the two when using the internet.
