If you have a high school in your area, you might contact the science teacher, or the math teacher, or maybe they really have a computer teacher--not one that merely teaches Word for Windows--and donate your old versions there. I should think that versions older than about three dot numbers might not be welcome. I.E. 7.1 might be OK, but not older. That's just my guess. --doug, wa2say At 23:41 01/24/2003 -0500, Kevin McLauchlan wrote:

We donate our old versions of Slackware, SuSE, etc., to http://www.freelinuxcd.org/new/index.php and I suspect there are a lot of users running SuSE that aren't in their registration database.
This applies to Linux Professional 8.1
Hm. I didn't think anybody'd have any use for 'em.
I still have my old boxes of 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0.
What would be a good way to find out if anybody wanted them in the Ottawa, Ontario, Canada area?
My local Linux User Group is a fine bunch, but they are either people who like to stay on the bleeding edge, or else crusty old sorts who stick with a kernel until it grows barnacles. Any of them who wanted newer would either buy newest or download and roll their own. The people who would benefit from recent-but-not-new boxed sets are also people who haven't found their way onto the OCLUG list, yet.
Suggestions? I don't want to get into packing and shipping, but if somebody actually wants them in my area, I'll be glad to hop in my truck and deliver -- let's say, no further than a two-hour drive (so, I'll go as far as Montreal or Kingston, but Buffalo or Timiskiming are out of the question :-).
It's either throw them away when the wife decides they've been collecting dust for too long, or give 'em to somebody who actually wants 'em. Who might that be?
