Justine SmithiesJust got my hands on two Dell Optiplex 3080 MT with 10th Gen Intel Core i5-10500 / UHD 630 graphics and 8Gb ram for free. Well now one is definitely going to become my desktop machine and the other is TBC or maybe will just become spares for the main ? Going to install <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> for sure and upgrade the ram plus install an M2 drive.
