there is really no "redhat only" software. the compatibility is with the
linux kernel and the libraries you have installed (in particular libc).
with slackware you won't be able to extract rpm packages so download tgz
packages instead. (or install rpm software).
if the download site have several versions of binar distrib, have a look
on you system to see what libc you use.
and if all this does not work, then download the source package and
compile it (i usually begin with this method, having the source is the
main advantage of linux).
hope this helps

Subject: KDE-lost at the FTP site
I have Slackware3.6 on my system. Are KDE and Gnome only compatible with
Redhat? I would like to download KDE if it is compatible with Slackware
but I kinda got lost at the FTP site...in terms of directories and
packages.
Would I be able to install it from a harddrive partition?
