Welcome to Patrick Volkerding's Slackware products store. You'll find top-quality products with Slackware's official "flippy" logo trademark here. And, by buying from Patrick's own store, you can be assured that all profits will go to help Slackware development continue. Thanks for shopping!
but I have not shopped there. I did get my one tee and the other back-ordered from store.slackware.com, with a nice "Thanks!" hand written about the donation. I really appreciate the slackware economy, hope it keeps on forever.
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib" and KDE4Town.

I've always wanted to support slackware by buying some merchandise, disc sets or maybe a t shirt. However it seems counter productive being in the UK, as the international shipping costs are insane. More money would be going to the postal services than the slackware team.
The same, although I guess the expences sometimes get even higher than in UK. And it can get even multiple times the price of the goods. I'd rather donate directly. Are there any other options other than Slackware Store to do that? Patreon? Paypal?
Other than that I've been thinking of donating for some time now. So I generally like the OP's idea, some details aside.
I know some people don't like donations, but... That's a kind of "subscription" too. Only most of the money go directly to Pat (minus financial transfer fees) which I would rather see than own that beautiful Mayan shirt.
Anyway, I pledge to donate some amount in the next few days, too.

There's a paypal link in the upper left section of the nav menu on the Slackware Store (it's a form element with the action going to paypal, otherwise I'd provide the link directly). Once on the paypal page, you can specify the amount and whether you want to make it a recurring (monthly) donation.
