Hello

Hello everyone, I have been a Linux user for several years now. I am used a rolling release since I switched to Linux, but I have found through experience and time that I prefer stability over new packages.
I had messed with Slackware a little bit in the past, but couldn't really convince myself to use it as a desktop, since for me, it would take a lot of work to get it where I wanted.
Anyways, I looked at Debian stable distro's, and Slackware based ones. Did some research into the whole sytsemd thing and decided to stay away from it if possible. There was several that got good reviews, from both sides, but Salix, well just took the cake so to speak. Kudos to whoever does the theming it is second to no one. The selection of packages is also perfect just enough to do all the basic jobs and if the user wants something else, he can install it. few distro's realize that less is more.
Currently I am trying learn the basics so that the transition will be as painless as possible. Being new to Slackware/Salix package management, is there a how to guide for installing/removing packages and updating Salix that someone could point me to?
Thanks,
Spiff
