Just a thought....

Free Geek (which is a non-profit organization with loosely affiliated automous chapters) takes old computers and refurbishes them for donation to non-profits and lower-income individuals. Another such orgranization is The HeliOS Project, which is ran by Ken Starks out of Texas. These organizations may be worth communicating with in order to get Zorin OS as the defacto installation OS.

I can and do agree with that point.
