somewhat OT but of importance :

I just went to the link you posted and saw the button for donation.  I
tried to make a little donation ( we need to support these projects )
and I don't hesitate to take a little money from Blastwave to support
projects like Linux From Scratch and Nexenta .. but something went a
little wonky.  I wanted to toss in $20 to the guy playing the fiddle
but the PayPal screen put in $400!!  I can't not swing that kind of
cash around at all.  Sorry  :-(

I saw this on my screen .. note the $400 figure there :

Sorry .. I can not swing 4 big bills like that.  Can you check your
button on the site and perhaps I can take a twenty from the Blastwave
jar ( someone dropped it in early today and since we are both playing
the violin in the same subway tube I pass it along ) and drop it into
the Nexenta jar.

Oh, and I posted this to the ML list also because the more awareness
about your project the better !  Face it .. you have good things going
on there and we need to work together.
