If you don't want the very latest source code, you can purchase CDs of 
older Slackwares online quite cheaply.  I got mine from cheapbytes.com 
(Slackware 7.1, 3-CD set, $1 plus $5 shipping).  The newer ones run to 
many more CDs, or even DVDs.  If you want to compile only a few things,
downloading at school over a fast connection is probably the way to go.
