Lets put a "important call for donation" on our Web Page and in a press
release. I bet we will draw some attention.
"The Debian GNU/Linux Projects needs help to port the most free Linux
Distribution to the ia64 Architecture. We refuse to build our Distribution
on non-free Emulators and it is hard to set up a build environment for
bootstrapping a clean debian system without access to a native compile
server. Therefore we ask everyone interested in supporting a real free
project to donate some compile ia64 machines".
Of course i am not sure if we realy need this, cause we can work with cross
compilers and the emulator to test it, what do the other ppl here think?
