i dropped the plan to run slack on that pi. reasons being:
1. the rpi 3b+ isn't supported by the project. i'm worried to be left alone with important fixed. it works
2. i couldn't find a bare installer for the non-current release 15 for the pi. there are no directories for it. i know it could be done nevertheless, takes more effort
3. release 15 is compiled for armv7. i guess that also means it's 32-bit only
4. i don't want to hammer the sd with daily updates from current
5. the pi will be directly facing the wrath of the big bad internet. hence i can't compromise on security (because of current) and stability (also because of it)

@envelopeme If you want to do it the better way https://docs.slackware.com/slackwarearm:inst_sa64_cur (at the bottom) for 32bit you can only do stable last i checked.

@envelopeme The hardware is just arm, unless arm board suddenly get fucked you have nothing to worry about.

@dcc 32-bit should be fine for performing the basic tasks of a router. i know it's doable but it'll take a lot of effort. i haven't realmed into this kind of installation before
i'm more worried about the lack of support for the pi3, specially given it will be facing the public internet
