Another choice is to use Pkgsrc with Slackware.
pkgsrc is a portable package building system for Linux, NetBSD, Darwin,
Mac OS X, Irix, SunOS/Solaris, AIX, HPUX, BSD/OS, DragonFly, OpenBSD,
FreeBSD, OSF1, UnixWare, Interix and other operating systems for managing
over 5000 software suites. It provides: 1) a categorized collection of
specifications that help automate fetching source, verifying checksums,
patching, configuring, building, installing and packaging software suites;
2) package installation and maintenance tools (like pkg_add, pkg_info,
pkg_delete and others). Visit
http://www.pkgsrc.org/ for information.
