However, more people are need and I personally plan to bring 3 machine that are blank so people can do pratice installs. = I sending this after listening to the Tuesday afternoon show for radio.com. It seem the enviromental group is pushing to have PC on a mandatory recycle list, like we currently do with bottles, cans and the such. After some thought I considered it might be nice take 486's, which school are refusing because of lack of decent software and install FreeBSD. True will = most likely more 10-16 year old hackers now, but we can a least(with some effort from everyone) start the long road back to making *BSD the prefered box. I personally am willing to do the setup scripts for this (this would me help in the BUDS project) and do some machines. However, I'm taxed as it is = (now going on 6-8 sleep, with perhaps 10 on weekends) but am willing to do this if there is some response. On the other hand if someone would like to champion this cause they would of course have my voice and hands. Any response appreciated.
