RESOLVED
Problem resolved.
I sent an e-mail to PayPal, but nobody responded. Then this afternoon the entry form magically fixed itself. Sent off a donation as a bit of encouragement to Barry to keep up the good work.

A useful link, Dingo, as I just sent off a donation through your page.Dingo wrote:I want add donate to Barry paypal button on my puppy site (see signature). How Can I do this?
I installed Puppy Linux 4 Friday, I guess it was, on a new computer that had an inferior OS installed (not one from Fort Redmond; this machine has no Windows, no Microsoft, and it won't, ever). Got the Pup more or less running late that night. On Saturday, I discovered the joys of Pnethood, absolutely the best networking interface I've had the pleasure to use. (We keep most of our files on a Windows 2003 server in the basement. Ms. Eggdog insists, fairly enough, that I refrain from installing any alien software on it.)
The next day, I downloaded an OpenOffice squish package, and it works. Then I got a Firefox, which for some reason is called "Bon Echo," but it works.
I got this baby up and doing what I need to do in, basically, a couple of hours. Couldn't ask for more.

I would think that donations would be welcomed. There have to be ongoing expenses for the Puppy community, forums, wiki etc. With all of the north american puppy users, I would think that a north american mailing address, p.o. box would be useful, helpful. I have just recently become active in the puppy community, and don't know how this is currently being addressed.

Re: recent discussion
Barry And Eric- www.puppylinux.ca deserve donations, Eric by far pays the most for his repo and has the highest overhead, I might not agree with a coop but I do agree the www.puppylinux.ca does have on going cost like no other member and should be given donations, and that the server usage that eric allows all of us as a community is very generous of him. Thanks Eric

ttuuxxx...I want to move the .ca project into community control including domain name ownership.
I also want a core to handle donations...and not to me but where ever money is needed. It may be needed for a new computer part for a developer or space on a high end server or help with someones costs for school...this is what a co-op can do.

Not quite the response I had hoped for, can we please try to address the topic rather than the individual posts. Puppy is a great os and the only one of it's kind. It is the work of many that contribute what they have to contribute. In my case, I appreciate all of the effort that made puppy available for me to download and use. I don't have technical knowledge, or even experience to contribute. Still, I would like to be a part of and contribute to this great endeavor.

I would donate to the Puppy Linux project. IMO, it's a great project and it's so fast and portable, and it has none of the bloat that the main Linux distros have.
When I used it at first, I was like "Bleh, the GUI is horrible!" but now, I'm using it every day and saying "Goodbye KDE/Gnome, hello JWM".
DSL vs Puppy. Who is the winner? Puppy. Puppy booted quickly, as DSL hung on modprobe probing my laptop's USB half-a-dozen times.
Actually, when I have a spare few dollars (say $10 or so), I'll donate. I would love to see this project continue and make it a rising star of Linux Distros.

Hope this helps.
It's not the size of the donation , it's the thought.
Puppy is the only freebie that I donate to.
