Take that comment of mine worth a grain of salt, since I can't say
that I've had a lot of experience using Slackware's packages.  I just
remember when I used to use Slackware it was hard to get some packages
working if they came from third parties and required a lot of
libraries.  Granted, the situation may have changed since then, (or
maybe I just wasn't proficient at using the package system) and I
don't use Linux often these days, so I can't really say much about
that.  I will say that I was quite pleased with pkgsrc on Slackware,
though.  Especially with it's BSD-ish init system.
