The computers of which I am speaking are from that installfest.  We are
having trouble placing those computers, because many of them have 256 MB of
RAM, and the students are complaining that they are too slow.  Andrew Fife
of Untangle and James Burgett of ACCRC are true heroes for organizing that
installfest, but much work still remains to be done in actually getting
those boxes into students' hands.
