New Draft written by another lug member,work in progress.

STARS provides FREE refurbished computers for families who don't have
a computer at home!

The computers are donated by local businesses and the public, then
expertly tested & reconditioned by the Bruce Grey Linux Users Group.
To breathe new life into these machines, STARS installs EDUBUNTU, an
Open Source (FREE & LEGAL) Linux operating system which runs
maintenance-free, has iron-clad security and comes with hundreds of
installed applications, all powered by the same technology which
runs most of the Internet! Easily save your work in
Microsoft-compatible formats to open the same files at home and
school.

Computers are distributed through agencies of the United Way or by
direct referral from a school (see STARS project guidelines below).

To request a computer, contact United Way’s STARS project:

STARS GUIDELINES
1. Priority is given first to students with no computer in the home,

letter is required.
2. Students are required to present proof of enrolment (one of the
following: current student card, report card, phone call from the school,
referral from a community agency).
3. There are no guarantees, supply is always limited, first come first
served!
