Besides m68k, snapshot.debian.net maybe also have some use
for these disks (but AFAIK the server is in Japan). You can also
mail [1]Hardware Donations Coordination, they can help find a
destination for these disks. i18n server probably will need some
space in a near future.
1. <hardware-donations@debian.org>
There are also some other Free Software Projetcs in [*]Brazil
and Latin America that could use that (BrOffice.org, the Brazilian
name for OpenOffice.org due to trademark issues; FLISOL -- Free
Software Latin American Install Festival).
Kind regards,
[*]: I know it because I'm taking care of their servers and helping
with their infrastructure.
