[rescue] What to do with old Sun h/w?

[Steve Rikli]

Completely agree with !free experience on craigslist.

However, if you really do want to give the gear away, I've had success
with donating to opensource projects; e.g. NetBSD has gotten the majority
of my old Sun, SGI, and DEC gear over the years.

Cheers,
sr.
