Slackware Creator Patrick Volkerding needs help

It was sad to know that Patrick (The creator/maintainer of Slackware) is on financial crisis.

It is unfortunate that he do not get his share of income from the store, and now he is

I mean, I'm sitting here in a house with a giant hole in the roof, a broken door sealed with duct tape, and a failed air conditioning condenser that I can't afford to fix, my wife has been driving on a spare tire for weeks, my teeth need serious attention again, and I only just got a machine here with UEFI for the first time (bought a used machine... really out of my budget but it had to be done).

The Slackware community is eager to help and for the time being Patrick gave his PayPal account link before he could setup a proper channel for donation.

And please donate if you like Slackware and willing to help.

Patrick has a cafepress account for Official Licensed Slackware Store. Confirmed by Patrick.
