Our school received 20 or so computers from the Polis Foundation through
this program.  At the time I had no idea that we could have received these
running Ubuntu.  We got the Windows XP versions and XP was about the only
non-FOSS on them.  They had many of the applications from the Open Disc
project.  We got many Dell Opltiplex desktops with 256 to 512 MB of RAM.
Windows ran pretty slow on them.  A lot of them now are running Ubuntu. :-)
