Darebin Residents using a Linux Thin Client Network









Computerbank Victoria founded the Australian Computerbank project in 1998. We recycle donated computers with quality free software and distribute them to disadvantaged individuals and community groups. Donated computers are tested and obsolete parts are stripped and recycled by volunteers, staff and Work for the Dole
participants. We install a free version of Ubuntu Linux operating system on our computers. The system is customised to run efficiently on older hardware.




City of Darebin Residents using Computerbank computers

Computerbank started working with the City of Darebin Aged Housing Service over three years ago. Computers have been set up at two sites. Both sites use Linux technology with a version of the Computerbank Debian distribution on the computers.
