(My link above went stale... ...sorry.)
Again, thinking and...
...in an attempt to help Computer Corps,
perhaps we could market a Developer Edition.
Dell has certainly left a void.
The number of developers continues to grow.
AI hogs resources, but many now are interested.
(My 1st automobile was "used," wasn't your's?)
I've been told... ...CC may have an inventory of the Dell Optiplex.
Certified by Canonical, some versions of Optiplex fully check out with Ubuntu.
If Ron "procured" a standard set and
we loaded 'em with Ubuntu, we could add:
Git,
Python and/or Ruby
Editor: Sublime, VIM or ?
Debugger
DBMS
Statistics...
...and/or other software for a prospective developer to play with.
On EBAY, try searching "Ubuntu optiplex" and you'll find few vendors.
And few of Canonical's certified Dell's can be found.
Currently, few "Dell Developer Edition" systems are available.
In sum, if Ron found any "certified" systems, let's load/sell 'em.
Again, just trying to help.
