Slackware 15: Easy Slackbuild Management With Helper Applications



Published
Lots of people have tried Slackware since its 15 release, but I read many comments that suggest there's lots of confusion about how to manage the system after installation.

In an attempt to provide some clarity, and to demonstrate just how easy the process is, this video is going to look at three helper applications that can assist in resolving dependencies when installing from the slackbuilds repo and also make upgrading and managing those package simplicty itself.

The three applications I look at today are sbopkg, sbotools and slpkg.

I hope you enjoy the video :-)
