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.

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!

I have a friend who wants to try ubuntu, but has no way to backup all his files. If anyone has a 15-20gb spare hard drive, it would be appreciated.

I am a student in Australia, running ubuntu on an old pc in my room. Problem is I only have a 3.8gb HDD, I regularly run out of space and cannot boot into X. If anyone had a slightly larger capacity HDD to send me, I would be very appreciative.

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 nice harddrive no less then 5GBs considering this 2.1gb slave drive i have is very slow and even though i got it for free its likely to fail like the last i tried since i have got them from my Votech class for Computer Maintence which i dont go to anymore since i moved v.v. Thank you very much for your kindness. ~Amber
