Hey guys,

Im not sure how true this fact is but i've heard that the early releases of Slackware enticed users to send Pat a brew of local beer. (this fact could be wrong and therefore disregard this post :P !!!!)..... and that would be embarrassing lol.

Anyways i figure we should all try and get the Slackware maintainer drunk and bring back this old tradition (if it exists) to show our appreciation of the hard work of the Slackware team.

If Pat has a a PO box or whatever we can send our local beers too, could it please be posted in this thread ??

Cheers

Anonymo.... i actually thought of putting the whole
cough.... cough..... donate!! In the first post but thought it would just be a nice gesture to put this post up.

And yeah i have that bottle opener sitting right beside me as i type this

If I were Pat, I would be more concerned about where the OP lives and whether the beer there is drinkable

lol well im in Australia, Tasmania.

thats the one id send !

Aussie beer has a damn good reputation, so if I were Pat I'd get in touch with you!

0men, you're too generous - have you any idea how many slackers there are in the world? With that and postage you'd need a very deep pocket! Nowadays I drink a beer about once a year, so your offer would be wasted on me - though thanks, mate

If I come to Australia - and I may well do that - family and all that, but really because I want to go somewhere that still has some open spaces without borders - I'll get in contact with you - I'll need advice about the best places in Australia to backpack.

Harryhaller,

lol yeah i sent that and thought... im gonna be broke now....


Your more than welcome to stay at my place, I am in Tasmania at the moment, however i live permanently in Brisbane (gold coast)
You can crash on my couch as long as you want ! More than welcome, whitsundays, barrier reef, all that stuff. Just email me and let me know.

Kindest regards.

I wouldn't put your e-mail like that. It is easily harvested by bots.

Tea would mean faster releases.

Ahh, James Boag Premium! That is a very nice drop I have been known to wizz against the wall.

Lol - not sure if that expression means the same in your part of the world as what it means here but I found that very funny .

Yeah, I still drink beer. I don't remember ever asking anyone to send me any, though, but maybe I did. If I did and then forgot, it's likely because of the beer.

There's a 30 pack of "Special Export" chilling here for the holiday weekend! I <3 that swill!

Yet another Linux Question [SOLVED]...

So that we understand where the idea of sending beer to Pat is coming from, in Wikipedia you can find the following:
and that was based on a 1994 interview with Linux Journal.
