Debian: Make a Monetary Donation

4 pointsby CoffeeDregsabout 4 years ago
This will probably get buried but...<p>--- https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.debian.org&#x2F;donations ---<p>I run Debian Testing as my main OS and have for years. Laptops, desktops, 5000 Pis, 500+ servers, anywhere. Had an extra brain cell fire this morning and realized that I should donate to the project. Blah, blah, free software, what a deal, etc. I&#x27;ve use Debian as the tech foundation for 3+ companies. I&#x27;m not really short on $$$.<p>It&#x27;s the foundation for loads of popular distributions. It was an early leader in packaging. Say what you will about systemd but Debian did a bang-up job of deciding about the transition and then of handling the transition. Without a thought, I pay $20 for a game I play for 4 hours and then forget... ON DEBIAN. I install VSCode using a &quot;.deb&quot; from MICROSOFT on DEBIAN (...cats and dogs living together...).<p>This is ridiculous. So I donated and will do so again in a few months. Anyhow, just wanted to mention this in case someone else hadn&#x27;t thought this thought... Now I&#x27;m going to go give some $$$ to Rust.
