Slackware 14
 

Hi all Slackware users. Let's subscribe the new version slackware 14 at slackware.com. They need help and is only $50 on slackware DVD 14.
Thanks.

SLackware needs a better way to support itself.

I can't give $50 right now!

There is a big fuzz with raspberry pi and that kind of hardware!

Selling cheap hardware with full working Slackware on it isn't a good idea?

You could buy a T-shirt, or make a donation. I will buy 14.0 when released.

Make a donation to Slackware

Latest Version is 13.37 on DVD

You can pre-order 14, take a look at the store.slackware.com

It's nice feature if Subscribe for donation exist in Store because Paypal can't set automatically to send donation every month. CMIIW.

I bought 2 tshirts and some case badges a few days ago. Nice quality heavy weight T's, I love em only I accidentally ordered one in 2X so it fits like a tent.

I've been meaning to buy a few T-Shirts and maybe the Essentials Book for references.

It's a shame that Red Hat have so much resources. And Slackware, that is a an amazing distro, have so much less.

Sometimes less is more.

Just a quick note to say that Slackware releases around once yearly, so shelling $50 once a year really isn't much, especially considering most of that goes to Pat (and maybe some of the others) rather than to those making the included software. That is, if you consider the true value of all the free software you get even in a typical Slackware DVD, it's an awful lot of money.

Exactly.............

Too many cooks in the kitchen will ruin the meal!

Tell that to Microsoft regarding Windows 8.:rolleyes:

Yes, in Slackware's case, less is definitely more, and it's better as well. Slackware is created and published by a handful of people who promote a higher quality of standards rather than just pushing stuff out, waiting to see what happens, and then repeating it over and over again regardless of what the community says to them.

Having been a long time Slackware user and subscription holder. The price of the subscription to help ensure Pat and the team can continue is a very small price to pay for the product quality they consistently deliver.

I also am a fan of their T-Shirts too and own several!

Just my .02 worth.... :)

Sure wish they'd carry big an tall t-shirts.
Nothing they have fits me. :-(

Pre-ordered now.
Partly because I made my first backup of 13.0, after trashing xorg.conf while trying to make my marble trackball scroll better.

I made a small donation!
Maybe a service with newsletters or something like a Slackware Magazine by a $5-$15 would be nice.
Like I said I can't give the $50 now.
I tried to buy a t-shirt but the shipping was more expensive than the t-shirt itself :P

To me the ideal is a small price but paid more often and get a service with that with no shipping costs :D

The Slackware DVD subscription is $39.95, not $50, and the CD subscription is only $32.99. Considering that Pat releases only about once a year, it's a small price to pay. I've been a subscriber for a /long/ time and highly recommend it as a great way to support the project.

I also pre-ordered Slack14.
A month ago (the bank transaction date is June the 11, 2012) I ordered
some T-shirts per Air mail, but nothing has still arrived. Currently I am in Germany.
Does it usually take so long for the delivery? I already wrote an email to info@store.slackware.com
but got no reply so far.

Be patient. It usually takes quite a long time. Last year I ordered some t-shirts to be shipped to UK and iirc it took 2 months.

Just purchased the DVD subscription for 14.0. :)

I agree with you. For me it's better the shipping cost donated :)

Sustainable : small donation, more often, more people,...

And I even use DVDs anymore! I have everything in pen-disks!

I agree:

And maybe some bonus with that! To get more people on it!

Just made a small donation.

That's why it's called a donation, not sales. But hey, in fact, there's already a great bonus with that:
Satisfaction that you've helped a good cause:)

Its really a frightening reality that this simple yet outstanding distribution, which has been around forever, is literally only here today because of the efforts of a few dedicated people. I'm not too fond of Slackware on the desktop but as a server distribution I think its the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I subscribe to the Slackware DVD and made a donation as well yesterday. :)

My point was that with increase of Linux popularity. More people will use Linux and trying different distros.
Get that people in Slackware is a good deal. With more users come more money!

Some people didn't even know Slackware! And others think that is already dead...


"A distro that exists since the beginning of Linux???"
It's hard to imagine!


And the way this distro works...
The great comments on scripts...
I luv Slackware!

Not have much money, I hope this ($11) enough to buy Pat a "Guinness Foreign Extra Stout" :D

Thats the strong one isnt it?

or am I thinking about the fizzy one guinness make?

There is a fizzy Guinness? I'd like to see that, because I tried Guinness and it wasn't great at all. Looks good, but it is flat, literally like very little carbonation, and it just didn't taste all that great. *shrug*

Amen brother. I need the 4XLT, as a 4XL is simply too short.

Guiness is great

It's supposed to be flat (it's low on carbon dioxide), similarly to Ales.

Strong and bold ! Sure it's one Pat's fav.

Send him this one to appreciate his great works :)

Small donation, great beer, more often... more fun :D

I often wonder if Patrick has ever considered brewing up a batch of his beer and sending subscribers a limited time free bottle?

Also, Sometimes more is less!

If you do things right, people won't think you've done anything at all.

or may be include a new item in the slack store -- order a pint of Pat's beer :D

Fizzy Guinness??? Blasphemy!!!

Slackware Stout. Hmm... Has a nice ring to it.

Zwickl Natursläck ;)

I once heard an Irishman say:


I used to drink the normal Guinness, but not so much any more, I've gone back to lager.

Tonight Im finishing off my mothers brandy.

Want to enJOY ?

Slackware Stout 14 :D

Everything Better !!

.....don't need big n' tall,.....but I'm gonna see if they carry itty-bitty ones (for tiny little grandmas) :-D

(EDIT: Just now looked,...smallest size is too big <sigh>)

I pre-ordered it. Now I just want to know when I'll receive it! Also, I'm drinking Guinness Extra Stout.

Slackware project is short staffed and really busy putting together a free rock solid distro. I would volunteer to fill orders for The Slackware Store but I too far away. Wish I could donate. I am going to get a mouse pad, put slackware book and cds on wishlist. lol When does the slackware14 come out?

Hey Jabba the Hut...they carry triple XL and I'm fairly certain that's big enough to wrap around an elephant two or three times :)
