get.debian.net installing gNewsomething instead of Debian
Hi, yesterday I came across an older laptop that I wanted to upgrade from Windows XP to Debian testing. Since the CD drive went south, I had the only option to use the installation directly from Windows. So I went to the usual http://get.debian.net, used the win32 instaler loader from the first link there, but instead of Debian it started to install gNewsense. Nice All Fools Day joke, but unfortunately off by 10 days. Regards, Frank -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Nice All Fools Day joke, but unfortunately off by 10 days. The download link for the Windows installer points to site http://goodbye-microsoft.com which advertises gNewSense. I guess the get.debian.org guys just didn't notice the change (adding a Cc). -- Feel free to Cc me your replies if you want to make sure I'll notice them.

Re: Money for Debian

It's just as easy as using Paypal, and you don't need a Paypal account. SPI (the US umbrella organization for Debian) does not use Paypal because of Paypal's problematic history of mismanaging accounts.
