Slink will eventually become Debian 2.1. It contains those packages which either aren't ready for prime time yet, or which contain additional features past the freeze date of Debian 2.0. > 2.

While the GUI version of it isn't yet working, the command-line interface and the dselect method are both reasonably polished. Many people feel that using apt as a method for dselect is far superior to the other options. You should be able to find the latest apt package compiled for hamm in the project/experimental directory of your favorite mirror. A version compiled for libc5 (bo) should be available at http://www.debian.org/~jgg/ -- Scott K.
