Wow, that's very nice. It's the first time I've heard about the
Slackware backend being used for real (I wrote the backend myself
to check that the model was flexible enough, but haven't had the
chance to really use it).

I've been recently contacted about Smart on Slackware. The guy was
unable to setup Smart, apparently fighting with Linux basics rather
than Smart or Slackware specifically. Would you also have a Smart
package ready that I could point people to when they ask for
general Slackware support?

I've added the link to the page. Thanks for the pointer.
