Hi, Myself Pankaj Kumar, working as a faculty in the MCA(Master in Computer Applications) Course of B. R. Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India (http://www.brabu.net/) on contract basis is also maintaining GNU/Linux User Group (http://www.glug4muz.org/) for my home town. I am spreading knowledge about GNU/Linux O/S to the student community as well as other members of my society. Due to this reason maximum computers are being sold only after installation of at least any one version of GNU/Linux O/S. I started working on Red Hat Linux, then to Fedora, then to Open SUSE and now a day I am working on Arch Linux. I have installed Arch Linux on more than 50 computers without taking any money for this. I am also not taking money for any help required by any one in this environment. For my survival, I am earning very little amount (Rs. 8000 per month ~ $175 per month) from University and some money by taking projects from http://www.freelancer.com/ in the LAMP environment with identity of ccpplinux (http://www.freelancer.com/users/30055.html). Now I want to expand this project execution process by involving more and more students in this work so that I can attract maximum students towards this operating system. For that purpose I have divided the current running projects in different modules and assigned them to three different students. You can have a look at this distribution of work and money at http://www.glug4muz.org/jobs_projects.php and then clicking on any running project name. This process has attracted several students to work with me due to transparency in work and money distribution. I think it will further make popular the GNU/Linux O/S among the student community. But now I am facing the problem of computers on which more and more students will work on these projects. At this moment I am having only two desktop computers on which students are working in shifts. But if I will get any old and used computers or laptops then I am confident that I can utilize them by installing Arch Linux on those computers and starting development work in LAMP environment on them. I am confident that with my present level of income I can maintain these old computers by earning from them but I am NOT having so much money in hand that I can purchase at least 5 new computers and start working on them to spread popularity of GNU/Linux O/S. If any one of you are interested in donating old and used computer for this purpose then please contact me. It will really help me a lot and I will remain thankful to you for this forever. It will also increase my confidence about support of GNU/Linux User Groups for the development of this excellent environment of this world. If you know any other person or organization which can be interested in donating used computers / laptops then please forward this mail to them. I shall remain thankful for this forever.

Best Regards ...
