Financial Support for Lubuntu

[Chris]

I totally agree (I didn't know/realise Ubuntu had a Donate page). But by
donating to Ubuntu you support our cause just as well or even better then
if just we "took" the money. Again I totally agree with redirecting to the
Ubuntu donate page.

With metta, Chris

P.s.: A good summary as to why donating to Ubuntu supports us might be a
good idea thou.
