Isn't Slack just binary and/or source tarballs? Why not keep Mandrake
but don't use the package system and install everything from source?
Or if you want a package system done right maybe you should try Debian?
Sorry, I can't be more specific but I never used Mandrake and I left
Slackware several years ago. IMO the packaging system in Debian helps
a lot in keeping a system free of /usr/local/-cruft and conflicts.
have a look at gentoo. your machine will download source tarballs and
install them automatically. additionally it does the make install step
in a sandbox so that it knows what the package installed and can remove
it cleanly.
Its like installing from source but without the patching and stuff...
installing ardour is a matter of
sh# emerge ardour
this command will fetch current ardour-cvs and its dependencies and then
build....
look at
www.gentoo.org...
