I just got this form email which was broadcast to all LUGs (in the US

Hi,

I'm an open source advocate who is trying to bring more newbies into our 
communities. Linux is now stable enough and easy enough to use that simple 
end users can easily use free distros like Mepis or Knoppix, etc for most of 
their needs. So I created a website to help LUGs exchange parts with each 
other, and to also help build boxes for give away or cheap sale to newbies. 
This is a chance to clean out your closet, build a box for a newbie, and 
maybe even make a little bit of pocket change for your LUG in the process. 

You can see my website, called DIYparts.org by going to
www.DIYparts.org<http://www.diyparts.org/>.
Of course, the whole thing is totally free for anyone who wants to sell or 
give away parts, or post a request for parts.

I started doing this because I'm a GUI dependent simple end user, and this 
is the only way that I can give back to the community. Thanks either way. 
 
Christian Einfeldt
