Neat. Thanks for the writeup. I think I'll have to spin upa VM an play around with it...that's usually what I do when I want to experiment with a distro. Is it rolling release like arch?

No, it is not rolling. Major new releases are usually at least a couple
of years apart, but it is under continuous development, and "Security
fixes" are released often for whatever package needs one.

There is another "branch" of Slackware called "Current" which gets the
ongoing development new packages. There is also a "Debian apt-ish"
package available called SlackPackage, which allows you to keep up with
the Current branch with mostly-automated updates. Same idea as Debian
"unstable". I haven't seriously kept up with Current, as it does tend
to have some breakage, and is more work than I'm interested in doing.
