I had an idea while visiting a Good will(charity retailer) of pre-installing and configuring an old p2 or 3 cpu ,I don't use, with Ubuntu.
I would add a newer hard drive, dvd drive, ethernet card, get multimedia setup, and include some kind of user manual; an easy to read user manual like the Ubuntu linux starter guide (http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper).
Maybe setup some udev rules for an ipod to give it a consistant mount point.
I would install the mplayer-plugin v3.25 for streaming media. Install Exaile for music and VLC v8.5 for video. I thought about installing compiz and create a special xsession for xgl that could be used if the owners ever what to try it out.
I guess I could also setup alsa for polyaudio, and change some of the apps that launch when you insert a dvd or plugin an ipod. Would setting up a "new user" account with an easy password like "newuser" be a good idea?
Thats all I have thought up for now, if anyone has ideas let me know
