As I was exploring the configuration details for the DHCP Server daemon on Raspbian, to be used on my Raspberry Pi I discovered that there is a line between the hardware (Raspberry Pi) and the operating system (Raspbian).  They are not developed or supported by the same organization.  So if I buy a Raspberry Pi I can presume that a portion of that money proceeds to the Raspberry Pi Foundation (http://www.raspberrypi.org/about/ visited 2/25/2015).

If I choose to proceed with the Raspbian distribution, which is my first choice as it is “a free operating system based on Debian optimized for the Raspberry Pi hardware” (http://www.raspbian.org/ visited 2/25/2015) then how does this development get funded?  By donations, of course.  So this post documents where I can send those donations:

I’ll probably make my first donation tonight, so as to get things started.
