You have heard of it, Rich mentions it all the time. It's the build 
script repo used by most Slackware users. It's like Gentoo's emerge with 
less hand-holding.

All SBo scripts  are categorized and tested for a given slackware 
version. They are guaranteed to work on a fresh and UNMODIFIED slackware 
installation. If you build from an SBo script and the software does not 
work, then you have either modified your slack install in a way that 
breaks dependencies, or it is a hardware problem.

I like to think I do a good job of tracking the changes I make to my 
slackware boxen. When the SBo packages fail, it's almost always my 
fault  ;-)
