Not at all. It's a nice way to support the project, and Slackware was always available that way.

- sudonim 16y agoIt's a wasteful way to support the project. 6CDs + jewel cases + packaging + shipping. It's just not the way software is distributed anymore. Why not have a recommended donation? Or encourage people to buy another item that actually needs to be shipped? My beef is that they are encouraging users to do something arcane, unnecessary and wasteful when there's a better way. Download and burn it yourself (or put it on an external harddrive).
- anonymous 16y agoWhat's your problem? There are both physical items (like shirts and stickers) and a way to donate directly. And Pat provides free links to direct downloads and BitTorrent.
