   I decided to install Salix on a virtual machine.   
   I like it. I find Salix to be a treat, a true delight to use.   
   Gslapt works just fine. The issues I had when testing Slint had to do   
   with Slint.   
      
   Too bad full disk encryption is such an intimidating thing in this case.   
      
   And, as this is such a hot topic, it has nothing to do with NSA and   
   their ilk in my case. I just feel better if I can prevent 'John Doe' from   
   browsing my folders if the computer 'goes missing'.
