I'm currently, thanks to posts on BBS's, starting to repurpose old equipment with Linux. Did it a few years ago, but people weren't interested (wasn't selling, just trying not to e-cycle). Right now I'm having fun with it and figure someone will want something! Plus I'm learning. :-)

But Petey is right there with me the whole way... ;-) He (it?) is also helping me with my HAM tower and learning Anderson PowerPoles, grounding,
etc. :-)
