Hey Benny!

 BP> slackware just miss gentoo portage

I've never heard anyone using slackware ever complain about the lack of proprietary apps before.

 BP> revdep-rebuild comes handy on brokken slackpkg

How so?  I've never used slackpkg and have never heard of revdep-rebuild before now.  Personally I prefer slackware pkg format to deb, rpm, whatever, given that it requires no additional tools to deal with it.  tar and xz these days is all it takes, although mc for browsing tarballs is a nice touch.

Life is good,
Maurice
