[wellylug] Recycling old boxes

[Don Jones]

On the subject of recycling old boxes, there is a very intresting article on Salon detailing some fairly large scale recycling of old boxes with linux installed on them.

The article:

The FreeGeek organisation

another intresting project is the Computerbank project in Australia:
http://www.computerbank.org.au/

Which is an Australian initiative to supply free GNU/Linux systems to low income individuals, community groups and disadvantaged schools.

and a few other links to similar stuff:
http://opencollector.org/freecomputers.html
http://www.accrc.org/

There is also a good article in the latest issue(paper) of Linux Journal on building a low resource system.

It would be great if a project like this could get off the ground in wellington - i see having a venue for storeage and building as an issue.
