I really like this suggestion, thank you, masonm.

If you'd like to make a donation to Slackware here's the link:

mmmh I do not know about taxes - I think I will just e-mail the store.

Thank you for the hint.

If S+H charges were too high in my country I'd go
with akus and masonm's idea too. I think is the
best so far, although I'm buying my copy, provided
that shipping won't double the cost.

To repeat, this is a great suggestion. FWIW I'd encourage all Slack users to follow this example. My philosophy is to try as many distros as you like in the beginning, but once you settle on a particular distro (or two) as "your" distro, please support it (or them) but purchasing the next release. For me, that means Slackware and SuSE.

My order for Slack v11.0 is in -- is yours?
