A FreekBox is the most common kind of computer built in our Build Program. It is given to an Adoption Program volunteer after 24 hours of service, or to a Build program volunteer after he or she has built 6 systems (including the one they are given). Occasionally, FreekBoxen are distributed via the Hardware Grants program.

FreekBox Specs
Processor: Single Core 3000+ RAM: 1 GB Hard drive: 80-120 GB CD-ROM: DVD-RW Networking: Ethernet Monitor: 15"-17" LCD Video card: AGP (or onboard) capable of 1024x768 Speakers: external Sound: Onboard or PCI Keyboard: 104 key standard Mouse: 3 button scroll
software specs (partial)
- Ubuntu Linux 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)
- Gnome desktop
- Openoffice.org office suite
- Firefox web browser
choosing the software specifications for the FreekBox is the province of the Technocrats group (formerly Distro).
FreekBox 3
This box had lower hardware specs which evolved over the years. It was based on Debian GNU/Linux (sarge), and used KDE with firefox and openoffice.org.
FreekBox 2
This box had lower hardware specs which evolved over the years. It was based on Debian GNU/Linux (woody), and used the IceWM window manager plus KDE's desktop (to provide icons on the desktop).
FreekBox 1
This was the first standardized box we built. It was based on Mandrake GNU/Linux.
(Mandrake was an earlier incarnation of what is now known as Mandriva Linux. It is based on the Redhat Package Management (RPM) system, unlike Debian and Ubuntu.)
