Grantbox computers are built to general specs, with specific changes that depend on the nature of the hardware grant.
The GrantBox is one of several standard kinds of PC built in our Build Program. It is given to Hardware Grant applicants after they're approved for a hardware grant. Occasionally, standard-built FreekBox units and Diskless Terminals are distributed via the Hardware Grants program. (Storeboxen are rarely, if ever, given out as hardware grants.)

- Ubuntu Linux 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)
- Gnome desktop
