KLUG donated this Lenovo T60 laptop with Linux Mint to the South West WordPress Meetup Group to use as a door prize to raise money to support their group. After paying for pizza and pop they cleared $30. We are looking to make similar computer donations to non-profits to promote the Kalamazoo Linux Users Group and raise money for their cause.

About antiX OS
AntiX is a fast, lightweight and easy to install linux live CD distribution based on Debian Testing for Intel-AMD x86 compatible systems. antiX offers users the “antiX Magic” in an environment suitable for old computers. So don’t throw away that old computer yet! The goal of antiX is to provide a light, but fully functional and flexible free operating system for both newcomers and experienced users of Linux. It should run on most computers, ranging from 64MB old PII 266 systems with pre-configured 128MB swap to the latest powerful boxes. 128MB RAM is recommended minimum for antiX. The installer needs minimum 2.2GB hard disk size. antiX can also be used as a fast-booting rescue cd. A special XFCE edition made in collaboration with the MEPIS Community called MX-14 “Symbiosis” is also available.
