Slackware Linux

you don't update slackware, you just repeat "everything you need is on the CD" and then claim it's stable because you can't install anything. It's a meme distro used by those pretending to be "linux oldfags".

how it works nowadays, is you install ubuntu, debian, mint, redhat, fedora, or any other proper distro that fixed these problems in 2003 that respects your time.

I call bullshit, but...

Pat claim to be super BSDish, but all BSD have a proper package manager. KISS my ass.

It now has a script that automates download and installation of packages from their ftp. It checks for new versions too. It's called slackpkg.
For everything else there's slackbuilds.org and their sbotools package manager.

None of those resolve dependencies, so you'll have to do that bit manually.

If you want updates, you use the -current repo, then use slackpkg. Shit hasn't changed recently, if you knew Slackware ten years ago, you know Slackware today.
