   You'll like using SlackBuilds (www.slackbuilds.org).  There's a program called    
   sbopkg that works with SlackBuilds but as per the Slackware credo, there's no    
   dependency management.  There's a fix for that: there is a script called    
   sbodeps (on Github) that uses sbopkg and will solve dependency issues on its    
   own.   
      
   There's slapt-get and a few other package managers that other Slack-based    
   distros use but I am not familiar with them.
