[wellylug] Slackware packages

[Cliff Pratt]

Andre et al,

How do you know what packages you have, and how do you know what 
packages are available for Slack? How do you know that a package needs 
updating?

Is it purely manual using pkgtool, installpkg and so on?

I'm looking to update my Slack installation (which lives in a VM on my 
Ubuntu machine) after getting interested after conversation with Andre here.

How many people started with Slackware many many years ago and moved on 
to other distros?

Cheers,

Cliff
