Hi...

As was previously announced, we are currently looking at upgrading
the server in all respects... well, totally replacing it is more like it.
Double the RAM, PII processor, 4x the disk space, increased bandwidth,
etc.

With this is mind, we are asking the PostgreSQL user community to
help offset the costs of this upgrade. Nobody is *required* to contribute
... the upgrade is going to happen regardless, as it is required, but I'd
prefer not to have to pay for *all* of it out of my pocket.

Towards this goal, starting with v6.3's release, we will be making
a CD distribution of PostgreSQL, as one means for users to be able to
contribute to the project.

There are two new pages on our web site that I ask/encourage
everyone to read through:

http://www.postgresql.org/fund-raising.shtml
http://www.postgresql.org/cd-dist.shtml
