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.
