Dbus and Polkit are integral components in the modem Linux desktop and although they are not technically required, if you run without either the chances are you will miss out on some of the features that just make our life easier.

This is a quick kitchen video to show you how I manage both on Slackware.

I hope you enjoy the video :-)
