Slink will eventually become Debian 2.1. It contains those packages which
either aren't ready for prime time yet, or which contain additional
features past the freeze date of Debian 2.0.

xload is now included in the xcontrib package (moved out of xproc).

Apt is Debian's next-generation frontend to dpkg. While the GUI version
of it isn't yet working, the command-line interface and the dselect method
are both reasonably polished. Many people feel that using apt as a method
for dselect is far superior to the other options. You should be able to
find the latest apt package compiled for hamm in the project/experimental
directory of your favorite mirror. A version compiled for libc5 (bo)
should be available at http://www.debian.org/~jgg/
