This morning was a good one: Despite our infancy as a distribution, the sidux project was chosen to receive the reputable DistroWatch donation for February 2007.  We gratefully received US$ 350,-- via PayPal last night - the honor and acknowledgment is of course much greater than the amount of money (and your ongoing donations are still very much appreciated). The sidux project is thereby elected into a small group of renowned projects like the Debian project itself, The Gimp, K3b and Gnome.

DistroWatch is the most popular source on the internet for introduction and comparison of linux distributions. Every month its users nominate one project (distribution or application), and grant it a donation from the site's commercial revenues. We very much thank DistroWatch, its founder Ladislav Bodnar, its readers - and of course all sidux fans world-wide for their energetic promotion. The donation will help us to buy urgently needed production and testing hardware.
