  • Its not hard to accumulate a few extras right at this moment. There are so many computers being scrapped all you have to do is get involved recycling them for the needy. Those ten SSD are going back out. I’m wiping them with ShredOS right now to go out in computers for kids. We even receive some gen 8 or better intel computers that get replaced with all the older machines. The hard part is convincing companies and institutions to let us have them with memory and storage attached. We do a DOD wipe on them all.



  • I prefered slackware over red hat from near the beginning. Debian was so fringe that no one I know had heard of it until around 2000. It was one of many roll your own versions that people played with. It eventually caught on but at the beginning there was only slackware and red hat in the main stream. They were so close together at the time that at the dial up ISP I worked for somone unziped a slackware etc directory over the top of a red hat installation and it booted and worked. Not that it didn’t have some really bizzare log files.
