Hi, all. You know there're a lot of companies selling Ubuntu PCs now, like Everex, System76 and even Dell. And I know you've heard of a lot of great people refurbishing old PCs to give to nonprofits and such, and putting Ubuntu on them.
I had this crazy idea of putting the two together, and refurbishing PCs with Ubuntu in order to sell them on eBay. I must've installed Fedora and Ubuntu together like a dozen times in the past six months while playing with different settings, and I think it sounds like a fun project. Trouble is, I'm not really sure where to start. I've a vague idea that people give free hardware away on Craigslist, and I can install Ubuntu on a PC. But that's about it.
Anyone have any ideas? Are there, like, places where they talk about this kind of thing? >.> At the least it'd give me practice for helping my friends with Ubuntu, and I'd really like to try this out. So any advice or leads would be appreciated. Many thanks.
