Hey Folks, If you have any hardware profiles from having recently (or not so recently) refurbished a C4C computer can you please see if you can upload to the site. You will need to login, choose create content and choose computer. To upload the lshw file please use the file attachment section near the bottom. If you can not perform these tasks, let me know where things bogged down and I will investigate.

Documented Grading System

by David Sampson

Pierre, As you have pointed out in the past you mark computers with a rating of 0-5. Could you provide some documentation on how you determine the rating for each system? What are the criteria? This would be something we can add to the process as well and thus the refurb manual.

Are we now installing 12.04LTS?

by Pierre Kerr

I looked at our web forum http://computersforcommunities.ca/c4c/en/forums/c4c_lists/home_refurbishi... and it's pretty quiet so let's see if anybody is out there. Since Ubuntu 10.04LTS is now no longer supported we must move to 12.04LTS. I currently am working on a modest machine, 500mhz 728MB ram, and I think I should use XUbuntu 12.04 since it's also supported for 3 years. http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ Any comments? Is anybody out there?

Re: [C4C-tech] Are we now installing 12.04LTS?

by Dave Sampson

Pierre, We agreed at the board a while ago to support 12.04 LTS. We also discussed this at the AGM on Saturday. The last batch of systems were 12.04 and our mobile lab laptops are mostly 12.04. On May 25 we should clone 12.04 systems. Hope this helps.
