Nowadays you can set up a complete Open Source based PC for minimal cost, using Ubuntu or a Linux Variant, Open Office for your Word Processing needs and a variety of Browsers and E-mail clients like Mozilla and Thunderbird are all freely available such that you could have a PC that is completely made up of free software.

There must be an opportunity for charity organizations to take advantage of this as a low-cost, highly efficient system in place, the 100 dollar PC alone isn’t going to cut it, second hand PC’s could be donated and free OS could be installed and then given away to individuals and families who truly need it.

I can’t seem to find anyone who has done this, why has this not been done? You could take advantage of giving old PC’s new life as Linux is far more efficient than Windows for most basic computing needs such as getting introduced to programming, web browsing and office work?
