slackpkg is included in Slackware 13 so it is a lot easier to use it now. With it Slackware package system can be compared to OpenBSD: you can always build a list of extra packages that you have created and remove packages that you don't need. Official packages can be updated in one command. If you want to use Slackware with static linking, you don't need to track dependencies, so it is very good choice for a base system.
