I recommend Dropline Gnome for a GTK/GNOME based desktop on Slackware. It includes Evolution, Abiword, Gnumeric, and a ton of other stuff you may (or may not) want. I don't know if there is a build for 10 yet, but they are usually really on the ball.

A look at Slackware 10.0 Posted Jun 28, 2004 20:31 UTC (Mon) by allesfresser (subscriber, #216) [Link] I've tried Dropline Gnome before (most recently around about the end of April) and it seems to be pretty nice, but it kind of messed up my ability to keep current with Patrick's development changes, since it has its own shadow package and also installed pam, which is one of the things Patrick has a definite allergy to (and I tend to agree with him.) It just wasn't worth it for me to keep the goodies that Dropline offers over basic system infrastructure functionality. Of course, as always, your mileage may vary.

Slackware provides for Gnome packages, and in my experience they are much more stable than Dropline packaging. They also save you the trouble of having to keep Slackware & Dropline updated, as they are updated for security fixes and such in their standard Slackware packaging form.
Slackcare.com is a great site, which offers slackware packages for evolution & its dependencies.
Cheers.
