   I wanted to try out Salix but as I want to use it with full disk   
   encryption it was put on hold. Then I learned about Slint which   
   builds on Salix and has an installer that does the disk encryption for   
   you. I installed Slint on a virtual machine (Qemu) and the installer   
   worked just fine including encryption.   
      
   So now I have the opportunity to try out Gslapt and its dependency   
   resolution. It is work in progress. Some packages provide Gslapt with   
   the information needed to install missing dependencies. Other packages   
   miss this information.   
      
   I also test Flatpak. It works but consumes disk space like there is no   
   tomorrow. Disclaimer: I have only done really simple testing.
