Wikimedia (a non-profit organization that manages the site wikipedia.org), the one that Jimbo, with pitiful eyes, collects donations once a year, announced a program for distributing old servers to those in need (non-profit organizations).

A three-year warranty ended for these servers and it was decided to give them to those who need them more (since they no longer fit the needs of Wikipedia).

Servers of approximately the same configuration:

Brand configs from Dell and Sun:
* 2 Xeon 2.5GHz
* From 2 to 8 GB of RAM
* Multiple hard drives.

Applications are accepted only from American non-profit organizations with similar views (in the original: like-minded ).
