Slink + some Potato = What?

["David J. Kanter" <djkanter@nwu.edu>]

I have Slink, but have spent some time over the last few days updating
essentially all the required base and standard packages from Potato. So,
when I look at packages "for Slink" or "for Potato," which one am I supposed
to choose? For instance, the October Gnome. Should I avoid the Slink version?

Thanks.
