Thank you for your kind words. These machines are "recycle machines". 
Old machines, people don't want any longer and usually machines with 
broken parts and pieces.

What I do is collect the best useful parts of multiple machines and 
build the best configuration possible. Then install the best possible 
Linux distribution. After testing, I send an email message to friends 
and family announcing that there is a Free computer available.

Yet for some mysterious reason nobody seems to be interested in this 
particular machine. There for I use it my self. I'm not going to throw a 
perfectly working machine away.
