Slackware is as straight forward as a Linux distro can get.  If FreeBSD
and Slackware both dissapeared I would be tempted to give up on
computing (well, not really, but you get the picture). :)

Slack doesn't do that madness, it has BSD-style init scripts and the
only thing you need to do is, as Chris said, to make desired scripts
in /etc/rc.d executable.  There really aren't any tools such as ntsysv
or rcconf in Slackware as far as I remember, at least not in "base"
system but there might be some made by community.
