I too would like to earmark my donation for the PowerPC team in particular if possible.

Re: Question about the Future of Mandrakesoft?
is there a way to donate directly to a particular group or person? if i was to donate i would much rather donate to a person who has helped solve my problems or in a general fund in a particular project(say ppc because we all know if anything gets cut it will be this)than for the money to end up in some CEO's pocket who is already making $200,000 a year. thanks, mike >From: Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Question about the Future of Mandrakesoft? >Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 02:10:41 -0800 > >Okay ever since the emails went out talking about the future of >Mandrakesoft I've been receiving quries from clients, friends, and >various people on IRC about just that how viable of the future of >Mandrake. > >The impression that many people have drawn based upon this announcement >is that Mandrake is going to die soon.

Okay this is werird. And I guess it's what I get for sending mail early in the morning. I meant to send this to cooker but I guess I'm so used to typing cooker-ppc. :P However, I think somethings wrong with the list. I still haven't received my original on the list yet. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy? - Ghandi
