Set up local program to recycle discarded computers and bring them back to life with Linux Ubuntu

3 Likes

Set up a local program to recycle throw-away computers, replace any missing parts and install Linux Ubuntu on each functioning machine. Keep computers broken beyond repair for spare parts. Ubuntu can run on old, slow computers and allow for basic office use (email, internet browsing, office programs, etc). These computers can be given away or sold for a very low price to anyone who can’t afford a new computer.
