What software to download


I am running Slackware 10.2 and am running into a problem with binaries.
When I go to get the binary for Samba ti download the list of available downloads does not include a distribution for Slackware and I am not sure which package to download as none show a machine or OS listing.

All help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary

Slackware comes with Samba. You don't need to download it elsewhere.

By the way - if you can't find a distribution-specific binary package for some software, just compile it from source. I usually compile from source even if a binary package is available.
