Id reccomend slapt-get ^^^... it works great for updating programs. And when the distro is updating you can just upgrade completely with it. Great stuff.

You can use any package manager for Slackware.
I just started using emerge from Gentoo on Slack 10.

And don't forget: Slackware is able to support rpm.
