I have in my possession a rescued Dell Latitude (pretty bad hardware
spec) that I've got working using FreeBSD and Gnome. It has evolution
mail (could possibly be upgraded to thunderbird) open office and firefox
installed.
You can have it if you want. I am in Paignton tomorrow for the LUG
meeting I can bring it down. It might need a bit more of a going through
though, i haven't had time.
