For us Slackware fans, there's swaret and there's slapt-get, and more
recently emerde.  None of the above are terribly fantastic.  slapt-get
simply doesn't really do dependencies at all, swaret does - kind of -
and emerde is still in beta and isn't quite there yet. 

Don't take this the wrong way, I love Slackware, and it's great, but
it's still for all intents and purposes a one-man distro, there's
limited package selection to begin with, and none of the package
management systems are up to the level of apt-get or urpmi, at least not
yet.  I imagine emerde could be, but I only ever succeeded  in hosing my
slackware install with the version I tried, and I'm a little too
impatient to wait 24 hours to download and compile updates on my 700mhz
laptop.
