Why Slackware? Read the slackware-current ChangeLog and you'll see why:
Fri Mar 17 16:42:40 CST 2006
l/cairo-1.0.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cairo-1.0.4.
l/gtk+2-2.8.16-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gtk+-2.8.16.
n/dnsmasq-2.27-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dnsmasq-2.27.
Oh, and happy St. Patrick's day! :-)
It's just a little wish and it's completely off-topic for a ChangeLog. I'm even reading it three days late. But it definitely makes one want to say: hey Pat, same to you!
Or take this one for example:
a/glibc-solibs-2.3.6-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against 2.4.32 and 2.6.15.6 kernel headers. Yes, I have seen that shiny-looking glibc-2.4 release on ftp.gnu.org, but glibc-2.4 completely drops support for linuxthreads, and therefore will not support vanilla Linux 2.4.x kernels. I don't think we're quite ready for that yet around here.
Indeed, we're not. Vanilla rules when it comes to software packaging. Thanks again, Pat.

Slackware 10.2 packages for Monopd
- Posted by Rob (#1) on March 20, 2006 13:52 CET
One benefit of running a 100% vanilla Slackware installation: I can make proper packages for my software once again. If you're running 10.2 and are interested in a hassle-free installation of Monopd: head for the Atlantik download page and marvel at the TGZ packages for libmath++, monopd and libCapsiNetwork.
Or maybe you are really hip and using slapt-get (Slackware's APT) in which case you could just add SOURCE=https://robertjohnkaper.com/downloads/atlantik/slackware-10.2/
to your /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc and a simple --update and --install monopd will fetch and install all packages required for monopd automagically.
