Greenh are awesome (highly recommended by me!) but don't do this kind of thing really as far as I'm aware. Access Space in Sheffield however do, and are equally awesome. If you ever visit Sheffield, don't leave until you've visited. It's right in the centre, close to the station and truly is inspirational. They provide an open cluster and also recycle *lots* of old hardware. I mean lots. It's stunning how much. www.access-space.org Cheers, Tim -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
