Up for Auction: LinuxSi.com
A number of years back, I read yet another complaint about someone having trouble finding a computer with Linux preinstalled.
So I did something about it: I created LinuxSi.com, where it is possible to register computer stores in Italy (this was an Italian Linux mailing list) that are helpful towards people wishing to buy a Linux machine.
Fast forward past getting married, having kids and buying a house, and LinuxSi.com is not something I have much time to run any more. I still think it's a useful service, even if the site itself is a bit creaky.
In any event, I've put it up for auction with Flippa.com, and there's one week left on the auction. Right now, it's going for just $10, which even with the low amounts of adsense income it brings in, you'd make back pretty quickly.
I hope that it goes to someone who cares about promoting Linux in Italy - if nothing else, the domain name is a good one that could be employed for many things.

If you aim is moving the domain ownership to someone who really wants to keep the same goal as the one you've got when you did setup the website, why is it open to auction ?
Does it mean that you would accept an offer from someone who just want to have some hits of a well ranked website and no intent to maintaine it ?

@simon - when something pays something, they generally value it a bit more than if it had just been handed to them. That said, if there were a really great offer to maintain it as a non-profit, I'd consider that too.

Im interested in the domain, the main usage will be for a nonprofit site.
