SSC/Linux Journal to buy Debian workstations



SSC, Inc., publisher of Linux Journal magazine, is moving into new
office space in a few weeks. As part of the move we're upgrading some
obsolete user workstations.

We'd be happy to receive bids from any vendors who might wish to supply
us with replacement workstations.

Basic Requirements:

Pentium class CPU
64M RAM
2G HD
1.44MB floppy (LS-120 as an option)
CDROM
10/100-BaseT NIC
4M Video RAM
17" Monitor
Keyboard and Mouse

Stable Debian distribution should be pre-installed and tested for
functionality. We'll provide the successful bidder with a list of
desired packages.

Quantity: 10

Note that these are desktop workstations, not servers, so IDE disks will
be fine. Feel free to exceed any of the listed requirements where it
makes good economic sense to do so.

The workstations we're replacing are primarily 486 boxes that have seen
about 4 years of use. We'd like to think we'll turn these new boxes
on and not turn them off again until we're ready to replace them, in
another 4 years. :-)

Thank you.
