[ale] Slackware questions for Slackware users

Thanks everyone for the input.  Slack seems like a Linux answer to my
OpenBSD-leaning ways, though I do believe in having both a port (source) and
a package (dependant libs and such are wgetted down from a server).  I am
needing more Linux stuff on my old equipment these days and I think Slack is
perfect for many of those needs.

I will definitely buy, as anything worth installing for real is worth
supporting with $$$, otherwise I feel like a leech since I now am working
and can afford it.
