It already has all that. And the reason it doesn't do it auto is so that you can yourself, so you know whats going on. I'm running nextcloud at home for example and apache, mysql, etc were already there so it was like 30 minutes to download and install nextcloud and set it up, very simple, easy and fast to spin up new servers. There are third party package managers that do like sbopkg so you still can if you want.

It is the oldest distribution and tries to not modify any source so as to keep things pure to the vision of the maintainer of whatever software you have installed. It doesn't hold your hand, there is no auto find and install dependencies for example, but then again that's one of its advantages, you know what you have installed and why. I picked up a raspberry pi a while back and gave their Rasbian a try. booted it up and ran its update and saw a Microsoft repo get added and stuff from it starting to download so I unplugged it real quick and put Slackware-arm on that microSD card and never looked back at the rasbian/debian stuff again.

I run Slackware on all my servers

Maybe two days, Sat and Sunday. Then simple black and white images don't take a lot of space. 2857 files. 252mB

I scanned all my college notebooks many years ago. Have this little handheld scanner called an CapShare by HP and on a rainy day one weekend scanned them all in. Only takes up ~250MB

Documentation is also at https://docs.slackware.com/ written by its users. And I find that it is a working system with minimal effort, there is very little that needs done after the quick install.

I see 180mm solid axles available, wonder if they would make you a longer. https://wheelsmfg.com/products/hub-parts/all-axles.html?axle_type=6863 I've bought before from them.

Its very nice. I use -Sr1 so I can then pull into a spreadsheet and look at the files and decide which one I want to keep.

They are not intended to be a finished product, you are supposed to add your own display and keyboard. If you want really portable start with the Pi zero which doesn't have the big ports, then slap on a small display and keyboard of your choice. There are small kits like these https://ameridroid.com/collections/all-products/products/odroid-go-advance for example. There are also a few different ones with blackberry keyboards https://liliputing.com/beepberry-is-a-79-hackable-pocket-computer-kit-with-a-blackberry-keyboard/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/05/its-a-raspberry-pi-a-blackberry-keyboard-and-a-battery-its-the-beepberry/ (when blackberry quit making hardware they surplussed a bunch of keyboards)
