I am wondering if someone would be willing to make a Xubuntu pc install cd for me. I am the chair of a small new local non-profit in NW Minnesota that has been using(practicing with) Libranet on refurbished computers with the intent to give them away to people of low incomes. Well, just as we're getting comfortable with Libranet, and getting ready to give away our fist couple machines, we've learned that Libranet has basically closed shop. Now we're looking for something to replace it and I think Ubuntu would be perfect, except that we're using older machines (300-400mhz, 64mb memory) and it is way too slow. I read about Xubuntu on the Wiki and forum, but we are not able to do that much downloading each time we want to setup/test a machine. So, if someone is able to make a Xubuntu pc install disk that would we wonderful. Please email me if you have questions. Thanks for your generosity, and many blessings to you this holiday season!

 *deathix@gmail.com: I live in kansas, United States of America, and i've been running on windows 98 Second Edition on a network for quite sometime now. I want to switch and learn more in the world of linux. I would be greatful for a CD of Xubuntu, and maybe a small harddrive no smaller then 5GBs but no bigger then 20GBs as my computer may run slow with a bigger slave drive. (As of now I have a 2.1GB slave drive and a 20GB master drive, the 2GB slows down start up(both are western digital).) It would also be nice if I can have a fan for my videocard because it heats up very easly even though its a Viper II z2000 with 32mb of vram. I would thank you very much for any of these, Top priority would be to get Xubuntu (Considering the fact that I run on a Pentium II 400mhz gateway system) because it is way more stabler and securer then Windows 98 SE (Especially it being on a network). Email me if you have any of the above or questions. Thanks much. ~Amber === grantashman@gmail.com ===

Hello,
I would like to try Ubuntu on a PPC but unfortunately beer costs too much here so I can't afford it. I don't ask for more than a G4 POWERBOOK, thanks a lot.
Thanks for the fast answer,
PS : if you have any Athlon 64 desktop with at least a GF7XXX to try it, too I could try to find some room for it in my place.
PS2 : if Mark wants to fund my life as a new project I'm also ok.

This is a wiki page to use for what is described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=90650

To make a request for something, go to the bottom of the page:

In brief, perhaps some people would like to recieve a free ubuntu CD before the holidays, but Shipit may take too long. Some forum users can burn their own CDs and mail them (and pay for the stamp) to those who do not own CD burners or do not have broadband internet access. Also, it is possible to download extra packages (like Xubuntu -xfce4) and make a CD for those who cannot download them themselves.

See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptMoveHowto

As well, some may have some useful things which are collecting dust but may be helpful to others to get Ubuntu up and running.

For example, a stick of 64 Megs of ram may be the difference between someone being able to run the installer and successfully install or not. In North America, we throw away a lot of thing that others may find useful.

Edit this page to enter the email address where you can be reached and to list what you are offering. Remove things from the page as you send them.
