I thought that they made these paypal donations international. I will have a look if i can set it to English. I found a second hand G4 Mirrored Drive Doors for a reasonable price. Once I have the money I but it. It's only 100 euro.

Edit: I changed the preferred language of my Paypal account to English. Hopefully it will be easier now for people to donate. Can you check whether it is now possible to pay from the US ? If not I can send an invoice with a personal message. Just let me know.

Hey, not to be funny but its still Dutch to me. I did Google Translate but as soon as I enter anything it reverts back to Dutch. I wish to donate 29 US dollars to mintPPC, which is what CrApple says OS X Lion is worth. I refuse to "upgrade" any of my macs to Lion (ok, I only have one that could be upgraded anyway) . Lion just makes macs and macusers look like idiots, swiping and pinching this way and that like lab chimps waiting for the pellet to drop. I think you deserve my 29 dollars way more than Steve Jobs and Co. May I also suggest you put your need for donations to continue this project on the front page? I worry that most people won't read your post in the news section.

That really sucks, I thought that Paypal made it easy for people to donate. I will send you an invoice for 29 dollars. Much easier. I will also put the need for cash on the front page.

10$ coming in from America! (or about 7 euro)

To donate, just log into paypal like you normally would and then send money to the email address.

(jjhdiederen at zonnet.nl)

Long live MintPPC!

Also, I'll put a link up to this thread over on 68kmla.

I will be giving information soon how to install Linux MintPPC 11. As we all know, the Debian Wheezy installer is broken. So I cannot produce an iso (yet). People who would like to test MintPPC 11 have to be brave and follow my recipe (just follow it to the letter). So I am looking next to some money also for volunteers who would like to test drive MintPPC 11.

Edit: one thing to note is that MintPPC 11 is based on Debian Wheezy, meaning that a few things are still not working. I recommend everyone to report bugs if you find things that do not work. If you don't know how to that for Debian you can report it in the forums.

Later...

Some news about MintPPC 11. Actually, it is VERY good news indeed. I am very close to finalizing MintPPC 11. The wheezy installer works with my preseed file and it installs an almost perfect MintPPC 11 desktop now. I am in the process of fine tuning now. I am also waiting for some great artwork. Ferdl is designing some really cool wallpapers. If you want to have a preview of how the desktop wallpaper might look like, you might want to click here.
