Slackware was the first version of Linux to be bundled together (packages). Before, you had to go all over the limited Internet of that time to get the packages. I'm not sure anymore, but at one time it was the most heavily developed version out there, but no one bothered to make a nice easy, GUI install and update interface, like Redhat and others (Ubuntu). These days, it does have a simple GUI type interface, but you still need to go to the command line after the basic install and go to town.

With Slackware, you have to get into the scripts and do a lot of command line editing. There is a web based program, called Webmin that can be installed - I do, but after the system is setup. Webmin makes it easier to reconfigure most everything you would run from wifi to webserver to Squid proxy server.
