The wonders of Slackware

[Aaron Grewell]

I just installed Slack for the first time.  I now know why the rave 
reviews keep coming for this thing.  The hardware I put it on is older 
than dirt, but nonetheless I still have disk space left.  I am amazed. 
 One question:   Besides the Slackware site and its mirrors, where do I 
get precompiled packages for this thing?  I realize that might seem like 
a violation of the Slackware ethos, but last time I compiled Samba on 
this box it took 3 days.  Literally.  I have no desire to go through 
that again if I can avoid it.  Worse, they don't seem to ship OpenLDAP 
at all, or if they do I haven't found it.  Tips/hints/etc from the Slack 
crowd would be welcome.

Thx,
