Beware.  You notice the requirement states that the computer must be
preparedin Amsterdam.  Is this just a scam to get a free computer for
somebody in the Netherlands?

computer for this project (must be at least PIV with a decent GPU either ATI
or NVIDIA) (minimum tech req: ATI Radeon 9000, no need for a fancy expensive
last model, we don't want to play doom3 :)) just have a decent acceleration
exemple: an R250 + fglrx. - install the machine (we would prefer debian or
gentoo, but if you want to use your favourite distro that's fine as long as
everything works in time :) - configure a ftp server on this machine -
compile Pure Data, PDP and PiDiP (runs under X with at least xv working) -
wecan help you on this part. - make the connection to the beamer - make the
system reliable (supposed to run a few weeks non stop) - help on the
internetaccess configuration There is nothing hard to do, but we're really
short in time so we're looking for a reliable and "advanced" user who could
help us in a very efficient way. when should you start: yesterday ;) money:
