Using KDE, where can I find the software center for downloading programs?

That may vary somewhat depending on decisions made by the maintainers of whaterver distro you are referring to, but the first place I'd look is Menu-->Applications-->System.

I log into KDE and Xfce, and there is no package manager or updater. I am used to mint.

I used this video to re-install. At the end eznix starts to use a means of downloading software from repositories using a terminal in part. Is that how it is done? Also in his video there are icons in the bottom right of his Xfce screen. I don't have them on mine. I can see my cursor right at the bottom of the screen. How can I take a screen shot to get help?

Does Slackware not have a package manager?
