Well now, things are looking up.

1. Solved my X problem.  I could have sworn that I moved by XF86Config
file to Slack, but lo and behold it was not what I was using.  Now
corrected; flicker gone.

2. Slack gets a big A+ for detecting my sound card automatically and for
setting up CD writer automatically.

3. Slack gets a B+ for settting up my printer almost.  Printer support
is activated, but my LJ1100 just sits there with a blinking light, which
means that the wrong type data is arriving.  I looked, and it doesn't
appear that Ghostscript is on board, so I'm not surprised that this
doesn't work.

4. Through google, I found a source of Slack packages.  Sylpheed and
aterm are up and running.

5. Now the search begins in earnest to get Phoenix up and going.  The
phoenix nightlies (binaries) require older compatibility C++ and libc5
and libc6 libraries in order to work with all the plugins that aren't
yet up to current compiler/library standards.  Gentoo has all this
packaged(lib-compat).  Is there any equivalent in the way of a Slack
package?

6. Slack gets a B+ for providing a usable, but not quite up to snuff
version of KDE.
