q:slackware pkg dependencies, was Re: [lug] RFI Debian vs. Slackware

[Timothy C. Klein]

I am currently running Slack, have been for about a week.  I thinkg
the lack of package management is enough for me.  I'm ditching it for
Debian today or tommorow. (i've also tried Redhat and Suse).

I want to play with apt-get.
