Hmm, since linux runs on system beginning with 386 i'd suggest you donate those to a Museum :)

Hi, I'm looking for suggestions (maybe things you've done in the same situation) on what to do with some old hardware that I'd like to donate or find a good linux home for. Worst case scenario, I'd probably just have to throw it out, but I'd rather reuse/recycle it (ahhh, the good old days of Mike Jacknis's [EMAIL PROTECTED]). So far: I posted a message two weeks ago to my local linux users group mailing list, asking if anyone locally would want the stuff (and even offerring to bring it somewhere), but got no responses. I don't think it's sensible to ship it somewhere, as the cost of shipping these heavy things is not worth the value of the stuff. Finally, I'm hesitant to donate it to someplace like a Goodwill/Thrift store, only since some of it might not be completely useable and I wouldn't want the thrift store to sell this donated stuff (even at low cost) to someone hard-up, whose money would go much further with a better system (say, pentium on auction for $50, or the like). I feel like I'm out of options and it might be time to just toss it. Any suggestions on this list are sort of my last hope. I appreciate any responses. Take care. Thanks so much, Daniel PS: Incidentally, we're talking about: Original CGA monitor by IBM (Model 8513: near fine condition) Original Compaq Deskpro 8088 (built like a tank; if I can find it, still :) ) AST Research 386sx/16 (BIOS issue) Assorted peripherals -- Daniel A.
