this is amazing! thank you ed!
i'd love to help get as many of these set up as i can. feel free to email
me offlist with some more info about what's needed to get these set up.
question for anyone: forgive my ignorance, but are the small
library/classroom spaces downstairs slated for a particular collective
right now or are they available? (also, is there a map that shows what
collective is in what space?)

Awesome!
Perhaps La Commune would be interested in hosting a few for general usage
in the entrance cafe/bookstore?

My crony Gerald & I picked up about 15
'puters from Youth Radio
<https://youthradio.org/> today, and brought them to the sudoroom. We
also grabbed about 7 monitors and a bag full of cables. These boxen look
pretty sweet, dual core, Windows 8, 4 GB of RAM. I was planning on
installing some version of Trusty Tahr (*buntu 14.04) or maybe Debian
testing and then using a live disc (redobackup <http://redobackup.org/>)
to blow the image on the rest of the machines after testing the memory and
hard drives. Brian, the IT bloke at YR is replacing the machines with
NUC <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Unit_of_Computing>s. It looks
like there are another 30 or so of these Dells available to us when they
get readied. If we can spare the table space maybe we can set up a few
machines for visitor browsing in a quiet corner somewhere. And we should
have some nice boxes for the Oakland kids' computer center. The four boxes
I have ready to go are mostly pretty funky, missing panels, or very loud,
etc. I'm sure we can find them a home, though. I also have a few more
expendable desktop Linux machines at home. Finding rodents, power cords,
monitors & keyboards may prove a bit of a challenge, though I have a few
extra keyboards and power cables.
I'm planning on going camping in August, but in September I'd like to
start hosting a weekly Linux install fest/trouble shooting session on
Friday afternoons at 4 PM. Folks can bring their Linux problems in for
troubleshooting, and I can bring pizza back from a pickup I make at 8PM
from a local collective. Maybe if nothing else is going on we can cap the
evening with a tech/polit-related flick to go with the pizza, perhaps even
a round of frosty malted beverages. As I mentioned before, maybe we could
use some always-on machine to act as a proxy for deb files, so we could
update machines at 11MB a second instead of pounding our limited internet
bandwidth. I'm familiar with approx and apt-cacher, though there are
others. I'll bring up the idea during one of our weekly Wednesday meetings
soon.
