I'm not sure if this is a surprise to you, but donating power, network bandwith and rack space is also a donation. Debian has always depended on donations to keep its infrastructure working. > i think that the independance from donations is an essential part of > debians free infrastructure. I am not convinced that this is an essensial part fo debians free infrastructure, as the infrastructure isn't without cost, and this cost come from people and compaines donating it to debian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
