so does slackware bring in all the dependencies that gaim would need? i don't see how that would be much faster with slackware otherwise, because you'd have to not only compile everything just the same, but you'd have to go out and download all of the dependencies and compile them (and the same for their dependencies).
True, but I find run levels a hassle if I want to deal wtih X. I find it an unnecessary level of abstraction.
i won't argue that. sysv has its uses, but it's sometimes an ugly
hack that can be done without.
Hardly. Slackware is simple and easy to administer. Like your BSD
easy to administer, but how easy is it to keep up to date? doesn't the same lack of package management put more of a burden on the administrator to keep up to date with security related information?
