Yes, we need money for our activities.  But I'm affraid I won't
anjoy the the mood that's going to be there when money is involved.

A point raised last Friday while I installed Debian for Gezernet
was -

Help enough people install Linux, and you'll have a larger pool of
people who'll donate money for the other activities.

I still stick to my last prosposal - put a tip box and explain that
things are not free, but don't DEMAND money.
