How to Configure an Ubuntu Linux Computer for Less Than $200

By

“Does your family need an extra PC? Educator, Mac expert, and
Linux enthusiast Phil Shapiro explains in this YouTube video how,
for less than the price of some operating systems, you can
configure a useful, virus-free computer with a 23-inch LCD monitor
($150 refurbished) and a Wi-Fi wireless adapter ($15). This project
is easy to do and should take about an hour.

“If you need more help setting up an Ubuntu Linux computer,
search for a local Linux User Group (LUG). LUG volunteers are
usually more than happy to give advice. The Ubuntu Forums site is
another great place for Ubuntu users to get information and advice.

Installation Guide.”
