I'm pretty interested in attending this, and I note the mention on the wiki of second hand PCs possibly being available. Can anyone provide more information on this, as I'm looking for a cheapish computer for my parents, and could use the opportunity to install Ubuntu on it (I already run Ubuntu at home so don't feel terribly inclined to install it on my own machines ;)). What sort of specs, what sort of price, and most importantly, what sort of backgrounds would these second hand PCs (should they exist) have? My parents are justifiably dubious about getting a second-hand machine in the event that it fails three months after purchase, so I'd like to know its pedigree, as it were. Regards Bnonn
