Donations accepted, development continues.

You will find a donations button on the left hand side of this page. I will gladly accept any amount of money you care to contribute towards this project. Development is not only time consuming, but the cost of reference books and hardware can be quite high too.

Solutions like puppy ultimately benefit the vendors of the hardware by providing free publicity and increasing the sales of their hardware. Requests to Topfield for donation or loan of development hardware go unanswered. I am now asking the community to pitch in and donate towards the cause. This is entirely optional and the donation does not have to be large.

The development of puppy has not halted. The following items are on my list of things to do next:
  • Make puppy work with kernel 2.6 based Linux distributions.
  • Diskless version - no need for external disk or USB flash, transfer directly to a networked PC.
  • Wireless version - no cables to worry about.
  • Web interface - configure everything using your browser.
  • Standalone flash image - just flash and use, no need to perform any complex installation steps.
All of the above are significant chunks of work and just like the initial development of puppy will require some time.

So, send some money or even just a message of encouragement - contact details are just to the left.
