+
+ I've contacted the current owner of busybox.net and he is willing
+ to sell the domain name -- for $250. He also owns busybox.org
+ but will not part with it... I will then need to pay the
+ registry fee, so this will initially cost about $300. I would
+ also like to host busybox.net on my home machine (codepoet.org)
+ so I have full control over the system, but I would need to
+ increase the level of bandwidth I am paying for (there have been
+ over 1 Gigabyte of busybox source downloads for the month of
+ November alone -- other months have had more).
+ <p>
+
+ I was going to pay it all myself, but my wife didn't like that
+ idea at all (big surprise). It turns out, she has better ideas
+ about what we should spend our money on that don't involve
+ busybox. She suggested I should ask for contributions on the
+ mailing list and web page. So...
+ <p>
+
+ I am hoping that if everyone could contribute a bit we could pick
+ up the busybox.net domain name, and cover the bandwidth costs. I
+ know that busybox is being used by a lot of companies as well as
+ individuals -- hopefully companies willing to contribute back a
+ bit. So if everyone could please help out, that would be
+ wonderful!
+ <p>
+
+ p.s. I plan on updating the Changelog later this evening, and
+ releasing busybox 0.60.2 later tonight. I will probably just merge
+ in vodz' msh since it fixes known problems, and since I haven't had
+ time to make it uClinux safe. Changelog entries for busybox.stable
+ are welcome.
+
+ <p>
+ <li> <b>23 August 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.1 released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ This is a relatively minor bug fixing release that fixes
+ up the bugs that have shown up in the stable release in
+ the last few weeks. Fortunately, nothing <em>too</em>
+ serious has shown up. This release only fixes bugs -- no
+ new features, no new applets. So without further ado,
+ here it is. Come and get it.
+ <p>
+ The
+ <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> has all
+ the details. As usual BusyBox 0.60.1 can be downloaded from
+ <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox">ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox</a>.
+ <p>Have Fun!
