As you might have noticed, the server running the wiki (lazarus and fpc), the mailing lists (lazarus and fpc) and being ftp master (fpc and lazarus snapshots) had some hick ups during the last months due to hardware problems so we want to replace it by something more reliable because this is one of the two main servers of fpc and lazarus.

If someone is interested in supporting this effort by a donation, please have a look at http://wiki.freepascal.org/How_to_donate_to_Lazarus

We plan to get a HP ProLiant Server ML110 G5 (like http://www.alternate.de/html/solrSearch/toArticle.html?articleId=379777 sorry about the german link) which is available for 400-500 Eur in Germany and add some more memory and another hard disk so it can run RAID-1.

From the wiki, it's more interesting to pay in Euros, right?

Is the German PayPal only a localized version, or are they separate corporations and I'd have to create a different account? And is there a way to use the German site in English? ;)

Best regards,
Flávio

It is just a localized version. You can use brazilian portuguese paypal and send the donation to:

Thanks. So simply changing the currency to Euros instead of USD will incur in the lower fees? (not to mention that the server will be bought in Germany, right?)

Best regards,

Just the fpc mailing lists. The Lazarus mailing lists are hosted on the same server that hosts the lazarus website and forum.

and being ftp master (fpc and

lazarus snapshots) had some hick ups during the last months due to hardware problems so we want to replace it by something more reliable because this is one of the two main servers of fpc and lazarus.

Thank you for all your contributions, I ordered a HP ML110 today. I'll equip it with more hard disks and memory and by the end of march, Charlie will pick it up so it can be installed in April.

Sorry for the apparently strange sending time (I just sent the mail a few minutes ago), it seems something mixed up my pc clock :)
