You can get Slackware 14.1 DVD from official Slackwares store. On checkout page you can choose "State/Prov" and choose Canadian province. Why do you necessarily need to buy Slackware DVDs on Canadian website?
Distribution: Lubuntu, Raspbian, Openelec, messing with others.

Rep:
If your trying to avoid taxes/import duties etc. why not download it and just make a donation through the Slackware store.
If your trying to get the book, you might look at online retailers.
I don't care about any tax. Anyway, under NAFTA
products made in the USA by Americans are duty free
in Canada. I just don't want to have to tavel out
to some customs warehouse way out in the swamps
just to pick up the DVD and have to answer weird
questions like "was this DVD made in Syria?
Are you now or ever have been an El-Qcummber ?
Does your mother boil cabbage ?"
It's just a pain in the butt. Yes, I want
to buy from a Canadian website. Why is that
so impossible ?
No, I don't want to download. My connection is slow
and prone to errors.
Thank you all for the replys !
I complain too much. I downloaded Slackware 14.1, installed it,
and realized Slackware really is different from the rest !
It's going to take a while to re-learn what I once knew about
Slackware. But xwmconfig and Xfce is great !
