Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y To paraphrase one of the best "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episodes, "Best of Both Worlds", both Arch Linux and Slackware represent the best of all the OS worlds: the power of traditional Unix, the elegance of BSD and the ease of mind of Mac OS X. This is an article outlining the differences between --what I believe-- are the two best Linux distros around today. Mind you though, "best" doesn't always mean "easy".

Swaret vs. Slackpkg
by Matti on Wed 3rd Nov 2004 10:32 UTC

I don't understand. Why I hear all the time that Swaret would come with Slackware (in Extras)? In Slackware 10.0 and Current, the package management software is Slackpkg (this is only thing, I'm able find from Extras), which as far as I know, is completely different software. Am I missing something, or is the Swaret actually just renamed Slackpkg?

On completely off-topic note, Slackpkg is quite decent tool for package management.
