We setup a 'swap table' when we have install fests here in Sioux 
City.  People just bring their stuff in and stick a price on it (a name is 
good too, so a buyer can find you).  I think its a great idea.  Some people 
who are interested in Linux but don't want to install it on their main 
system might just buy a 166Mhz box for $20-30 or something.  We also had a 
couple laptop drives for sale and people were able to purchase those and 
then they had a place to try out linux on their laptop.
