Created page with "The October 20 hackathon will feature a charity computer build-athon in the classroom. Members are encouraged bring parts to be assembled into fully working machi..."

New page

The October 20 [[hackathons|hackathon]] will feature a charity computer build-athon in the classroom.

Members are encouraged bring parts to be assembled into fully working machines.

==Parts anticipated==
To help us organize, tell us what you can bring:
* Mark Jenkins
** ~20 SDRAM sticks varying in size from 64M to 256M
** 10 60G, PATA hard drives
** Lubuntu 12.04 hard drive image with 30+ tested games and hours of creative commons licensed music
** Two USB hard drive cradles (for drive imaging)

==Worse case machine==
The above drive image can run on some pretty bad hardware:
* Pentium II (i686 compatible), 233MHZ
* 256M of SDRAM with 66MHZ bus (more likely to be 100MHZ bus)
* 20G hard drive
* PCI network card
* ISA or PCI sound card
* PCI or AGP 1x/2x video

Please bring hardware at least as good as this, note that 586 and earlier processors, including Pentium I, AMD K6, AMD Geode, and Via C3 are not 686 compatible. (Ubuntu 12.04 is limited to this)
