Awesome! I will grabbing it tonight. I moved from Slack to FreeBSD 100 years ago becuase I found the ports/package management so much easier
to manage. But upgrading was a complete bear - just didnt do it!
You'll like using SlackBuilds (www.slackbuilds.org). There's a program called sbopkg that works with SlackBuilds but as per the Slackware credo, there's no dependency management. There's a fix for that: there is a script called sbodeps (on Github) that uses sbopkg and will solve dependency issues on its own.
There's slapt-get and a few other package managers that other Slack-based distros use but I am not familiar with them.
Later,
Sean
