Yeah, bung Easebourne (which is in West Sussex) in www.multimap.com, and
you'll find it easy enough. Not to be confused with Eastbourne, which has
Beachy Head and is in East Sussex.

Yeah the big thing that Slackware lacked was something to grab updated
packages off the net, and install them. I seem to remember that Swaret
uses pkgtool to do the local stuff, so its just using the local package
management tools.

I've had some problems with Swaret, as it doesn't agree with me using
Slackware-current, which is mainly stable but has the latest packages of
everything.
