As operating systems (Mac or Windows) evolve, older machines can no longer handle them and end up in closets. However, these machines run Linux (an open source system) fine, and will serve our purposes. Linux Mint Cinnamon works on newer machines that will boot off USB drives (degrade to Linux LMDE to boot from a CD). DSL (Damn Small Linux) will work on the oldest of machines.
If you have one or more old Windows or Macintosh-based machines you are no longer using, please contact Bram Moreinis at 845-750-2412 or bram@techscoutsma.org
