Re-purposing and Linux and charity! Oh my!

Filed under: Technology, Ethical Consumption, Linux — kristy @ 07:27:15 pm

Rev. Scott Wells at Boy in the Bands thought of a great idea to help charities and spread the word about Linux:

Here’s an idea: send me your tired, old (but bootable) laptop—the one that makes you ask, “Why would anyone want that?”—and I will give it some kind of new life with Linux. I’ll document the transformation and find a charitable home for it, perhaps a church or other ministry.

I think that's a great idea on all counts. For more info on giving to and receiving from this project, check out Laptop resurrexit.
