Got a few q's about donating to keep arch going:
1. Is there a way to donate w/out paypal?
2. Are hardware donations needed? (old hard disks, not premium computers, etc)
3. Are donations tax deductible in the US? (not super important but thought I'd ask)

3. No. Arch is not a non-profit organization, nor a charity. It would be kinda cool if there was an "Archlinux foundation" that was a nonprofit, whose purpose was the betterment of linux in general, and archlinux specifically.. Then donations could be tax deductible..and perhaps more people would donate.

1) Yes. The MC/Visa link on the donations page (http://www.archlinux.org/donations.php) goes to a paypal acct.
2) Needed, hard to say, accepted, probably. I recall some 586 machines being needed to work on the 586 repo, but I think that was satisfied ages ago. I'd love to see Judd have a 64 bit machine so he has some incentive to do some arch64 work. :-)

I'd rather donate by check but I guess I'll feed the paypal machine if there is no other choice.
I agree with Cactus about the foundation though.. I think this is a great idea. I guess Judd might have problems setting this up from Canada though. Still, I can't help but think that donations would go up if they were deductible. Arch might even get some corporate sponsors..

You can mail me a check if you prefer.

I want to fund a compile farm so that UNSUPPORTED can become a binary repo, auto-built by script when a pkg is flagged as safe by a TU...but I can't afford it
