Hellos, here are the deets:
CONFIG:
Intel Atom CPU N450 @ 1.66GHz x 2
2GiB RAM
HD 243.9 GB
STATE
About five or so years old machines. -All of them need new keyboards, and
about 4 of them need new displays.
REPAIR CO$T:
Some people won't mind typing on the keyboard holes, while we buy the
keyboards, oh yeah, the cost. I ran a quick search and each keyboard is
between 7-15 bucks each.
WHY?
The current owners don't like them, besides that they been vandalized
(Users removed keyboard keys from all keyboards, and about three w smashed
displays). Besides that they feel that they run too slow for the software
they would like to use.
MY TAKE:
My take is that for Sudoroom they will be just fine. I brought one home to
test and installed Ubuntu 14.4 LTS 32Bit (they may take 64Bit) and it is
running fine while browsing, emailing, IRC-ing. :)
WHAT IS THE THING?
There are two thing, a) I cannot be the Sudo representative. b) The process
usually takes about a month - two months to get it completed; so we can
start getting the ball rolling next week.
Daniel
p.s. of course we should get it! :)
