Why wouldn't you? Your junk is too good for us? ;-)

I don't see a big problem with this practice, as long as the machine  
being sold is capable of running Linux or is being sold in order to  
acquire one that can run Linux. After all, we might get a good deal  
on some good hardware out of it ;-)

Personally, I'd rather see 'for sale' posts much more than I would  
yet more Comcast connectivity problems or PowerBook screen resolution  
threads. If you're go by the stated topic of this mailing list, most  
of the traffic on PLUG of late has been off-topic (Mac screens and  
terminals, Comcast network, keylogger for Windows, etc).
