yeah, and it essentially just adds a few config utilities such as a panel
to configure things like network, keyboard, and such, and a graphical
package manager, which does dependency checking, but otherwise works with
the normal slackware package format. IIUC it also follows slackware
releases, so it's not developing further and further away from slack.

OTOH it has a strict philosophy of providing one tool for each job, at
least by default. so the standard graphical environment is Xfce, there's no
emacs, no mutt, that sort of thing. (though other apps can often be
installed through netpkg, and you won't destroy your install if you compile
from source.)
