Hardware for Debian people

Hi

I have a number of machines to give away to Debian related people.
This is "old" hardware donated from Lufthansa, ranging from an older
486DX2/66 to new Dual Xeon 3GHz machines. All machines that nobody wants
here will get scrapped, so I haven't done a selection, maybe someone
wants to build a small router or stuff with one of the really small ones.

This machines are for "Debian people" and should benefit Debian work[1],
which includes all of Debian Developer, New Maintainer and regular
contributors.

[1] Which means primary Debian. If that work then later benefits
whatever derivates out there too thats fine, but thats not the
primary goal.

So, if you want a machine from the following list, send a mail to
lhhw@kosh.ganneff.de and give a rough description what you plan to do with
it. The description is there so that I can give a summary back to show
it is used for something good and - in case we have more people asking
then we have machines here - to make a basic selection. Martin Wuertele,
Marc Brockschmidt and Alexander Schmehl volunteered to help me processing
this.

Hihi, Update: Please notice that the list contains more than those 4
Dual Xeon machines. Maybe note an alternative P4 you could live with in
case other people did love the Xeons too. :)

I would be glad to run one of the P4 or P3 to debian-desktop
development purposes. Unfortunately, i'm in Brazil and a friend of
mine (OpenBSD developer) had troubles when tried to receive some
donated hardware (they simple don't get it here and the taxes are
absurd).

I could host it in the same place as i run some NGO servers, but it
seems to be almost impossible due to our nazi gov't taxes. Does anyone
in Europe (and involved with debian-desktop effort) would like to give
it a go?

aparently this can be worked around if the machine is owned
outside brazil and is only hosted there. so somehow e.g. fiis
could own the machine and have it hosted in .br.

joey, could that work?

Assuming that you refer to ffis e.V. I guess so, but you should
contact vorstand@ffis.de when you definitifely plan to go that
way.

Maybe one such a machine could be used as a distcc+crosscc server for
the Debian-m68k port (or even maybe aranym) ?

I expect Joerg box to be in Germany (?). Maybe it could be hosted in the
same room as crest, kullervo, hobbes and q650 so it could serve as a
distcc server for them all ?

Cheers,

Hi!

Thanks for your interest. We are not sure yet, how long it will take to
sort things out, but we will get back to you.

Yours sincerely,
Alexander
