If you are interested in adding functionality, it will be
easier to use BL2 as your foundation.  BL2 was designed for
simple expansion using Slackware 7.1  BL3 is designed to 
be very small, so it uses an old small library (and may be 
changing to an even smaller library in the future).  

It is possible to add things to BL3.  There are a few add-on 
packages at the BL3 site and I am gradually adding more.  You 
can also try adding packages from Slackware 3 or 4 (which use
the same old library as BL3).

Slackware 7.1 uses a different library.  If you want to use
packages from Slackware 7.1, you need to install the library
package from Slackware 7.1 (glibcso.tgz).  You will find it
in /slakware/a6
