Free Computers

Students in Kevin Morrison’s Hardware and Networking class have been putting their new skills to practical use for the community. There are currently twelve Dell computers available for students and families who do not have a computer or who want to have a computer just for experimenting with new software.

The refurbished computers have 15-inch flat screen monitors and are loaded with the Linux operating system, which is less hardware intensive than Windows and is free.

The free computers do not have any warranty, but they can be used as stand-alone workstations and be connected to the Internet.

Plans are to re-build upward of two dozen more computers for the community and for charities responsible for bringing technology to schools without computers.

If you are interested in having one of these computers, please call Kevin Morrison at 549-8219 or send an e-mail to at kmorrison@burrburton.org.
