Amazing...

I have been cleaning up in prep for a long Labor Day weekend in
Washington, and said to myself "I *really* need to set up these three or
four leftover PCs that have been replaced, see what they've got in them,
load Ubuntu on them and post a note asking someone to get rid of them
for me". Ditto about two hours ago for two or three servers...

PCs - there's a K6-3/450, a P3-700, a Duron 800 and something else (I
forget now). Servers - a Compaq P2-266, a DEC Alpha 21264a-400, maybe a
Dell dual P3-866 or dual-capable P3-500 (again, I forget). Oh, and a
mini HP 650 Celeron desktop...

No laptops, though...

Probably the weekend after Labor Day I'll dig through these and see what
they'll do, then post a note asking for someone to accept donations :-)
