Wink Linux newbie question: How do you install applications?
I know this is more of a general linux question but how would I go about installing an application such as code::blocks on a slackware based operating system (Vector Linux). Are applications referred to as packages? Or are packages specific to Vector linux?
No flamming please

Throw the command: man gslapt
as gslapt is now the preferred method of graphical package management for Vector Linux.
