Finished with Slackware for now

Well, I've finished my Slackware 9.0 experiment.

It's a really fine distro.  I rank it number 2, right after gentoo.

The principal missing ingredient is a complete selection of packages in
Slack format, although it's much more complete than a couple of years
ago.  There are several sources of packages now. I just didn't want to
play the game of looking for packages and using checkinstall to build my
own packages.  Also, the lack of a dependancy mechanism in the Slack
package structure is a major flaw, from my standpoint.

So, I'm back on home base now.
