Slack, as its users call it, a Linux distro that follows the "KISS" concept, Keep it simple stupid, ie the concept of being as simple as possible.

Among the characteristics of Slack is being a system with virtually no graphical interface configuration tools, of course, today there are utilities to leave the Slack easier to use as slackpkg and pkgtool allow the user to install programs without worrying as much about dependencies as Debian APTbefore that, the user would need to install the dependencies manually.
