my shop teacher is bringing in pcs the school cant use (there pretty good windows 7 sata x4 p4ht and some sata disks (hdd dvd)0)
ive been activating windows and adding some ram in the shop down time and selling them for 10 bucks to teachers and students ive made over 50 bucks doing barley anything
hell the teacher even says he will give me marks for building them (i modify the chaise so the hdd fits in the fdd cleanly (sawing the plastic cover so the hdd wont push on it)
of course i got one free and i took the best one which was a quad core with 4 gb of ram and i put two 80gb 7200 rpm drives
so i can potentialy sell 200 of them (2000 $ for not being bored at lunch)
of course im putting cb on mine but windows for the ones i sell.

Nice one sam
Why not partition them, and supply a dual boot, so people can have the chance of trying out a non-win distro?

I second that! You could kick off the next generation of PCjacking ]:D

+1, yes that'd be great. Part of the difficulty in spreading linux (imho) is the public's perceived lack of options

Or a copy of Puppy, that'd screw them up for the rest of their lives. ]:D

they are actually all the same model except for the net support (used to control pcs by teacher) which is faster
they run Xubuntu well and Ubuntu would work decently to

Sounds like you're doing better than I did when I tried something like that. I tried the PC repair in my basement for a bit, but almost all of my business was family member who always got pissed at me when I gave them a bill. I wound up putting so much in & making almost nothing (because nobody wanted to pay) that I eventually just gave up

@ Tinfoil Hat
You need to get a new family - what a bunch of scrooges
I would have the opposite problem with my family.

^ Tell me about it. For the most part, my family is a pretty tight-knit bunch, except when it comes to money, then they'll rip each other's throats out. I guess it's just an Italian thing
