Why donate ?

Established as the most important Open Source thin client project PXES Universal Linux Thin Client is standing out as a clear alternative to proprietary operating systems in the desktop. It's now approaching 100000 downloads, figure which I hope to reach by the end of the year 2003.

Currently users are making great savings on software licenses, hardware and maintenance costs using PXES Universal Linux Thin Client.
Also receiving a dedicated support and assistance by mailing lists and forums.
At present I have a ROADMAP with expected enhancements and deadlines to be met.
Donations would speed up this process enabling all users to keep receiving the benefits of Open Source and ensure PXES Universal Linux Thin Client continuity.
