Slackware 12.1 RC2
Come to think of it, I did purchase a bunch of those $1.00 Donations to the Slackware Project1. And the 2nd edition of the book. And a T-shirt. And I'll likely buy some more Slack merchandise and/or donations right around the time of the 12.1 release.
I can only imagine Slackware's low overhead is due to a comparative lack of advertising--the only Slack ads I can think of are on slackware.com. Unless you want to count me sporting that T-shirt as advertising. Word-of-mouth seems pretty much it otherwise, plus whatever blurbs our editors write about Slackware here at LWN.
