Folks,

St. Peter's Church, Derby have recently put in a request to EDS for help in
setting up a new IT suite.  They want to have a number of PCs for use by the
communitry, mainly the local children.  Dave Bottrill, myself and a number
of
our work collegues have offered to help out on this.

Our proposed solution is to deploy a number of Thin Clients connecting to a
Linux Terminal Server.  We also want to bring a number of existing PCs onto
the LAN, deploy a couple of printers and broadband internet.  As well as
providing a CD Writer and Digital camera.

EDS can provide the PCs, firewall and networking gear.  However, as our kit
is
mostly office desktops, they aren't really upto acting as a Terminal Server.
Also, we need to get the room networked and powered on a shoe string budget.

That's where you kind soles come in!  Although we need some powerful kit for
the Terminal Server, this is only limited to Processor, Motherboard, Memory
and Hard Disk.  The rest won't really be touched so don't need to be of such
a high spec.  Therefore, I am asking for donations of the following:

* Video Card
* Case
* PSU
* 100Mbps Network card
* Floppy Drive
* Keyboard
* Mouse
* Monitor

Additionally, the room requires trunking, with power and Cat 5 running
through.  Would anyone be able to provide:

* Trunking
* Real of Cat 5
* RJ45 face plates
* Plug sockets
* Power cable
* Qualified labour to fix the above (mainly the power)

All help would be greatly appreciated (especially because we want to touch
these people up for a Linux Demo Day venue :-)

Thanks again,

Mike.
