Avoid throwing away<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Village Internet refurbishes IT equipment – desktop PCs and laptops – that would otherwise probably be thrown away due to compatibility issues with major software operating systems and packages<\/p>\n\n\n\n This can be caused by a constant stream of changes and updates, that has eventually meant your hardware will no longer support the upgraded software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, when one of these desktop PCs or laptops is refurbished by Village Internet, it could still have an active role to play in the daily life of any business or household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A corner-stone of this initiative is the adoption of Linux Mint as the new operating system. It’s secure, simple to operate, and has an ever-growing number of devoted users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Better still, Linux Mint is free<\/span> and it’s open-source software; in other words it’s not tied to a supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Personal Security<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When using the Internet, the issue of data privacy and security is equally as important as sustainability – maybe more so. Linux Mint also has a key role to play in this respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a key feature of this website, we will introduce our readers to software solutions and advice that have the potential to improve your personal security when using the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recycling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If however,you do feel it’s time to recycle your old IT equipment – there are times when they simply have reached ‘end-of-life – please check out our 8R’s<\/strong> page before throwing anything away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Village Internet is an operating division of Open Systems Informer Ltd (established in 1986) and is located on the Wiltshire\/Gloucestershire border in the UK.
