This concept and these notes are entirely obsoleted by dm-crypt, if you want a complete encryption solution.
These notes were made from instructions from Slackware as of Slackware 14.2 64bit.
It's remarkably simple.

Rogue Class is a toy Linux distribution for playing games and reading books.
- 2019-11-17 -- It appears to be dead.
- 2015-05-11 -- Just doesn't do it for me. Too simple, no liveUSB, (requires?) burning to a CD. I have no clue if it can use Slackware packages. I guess everything has to be compiled from scratch, which I don't want to do.

A Puppy Linux for- thing, built using woof-CE. Built from Slackware.
Overall, I'm not impressed.

Since Puppy Linux uses systemd, I might presume this does too. However, Slacko is built from Slackware using Puppy's build system.

My various thoughts at different times I played with it.
Anything currently-useful will be kept in Slackware or some other appropriate page.

An APT like system for Slackware package management. It allows one to search slackware mirrors and third party sources for packages, compare them with installed packages, install new packages, or upgrade all installed packages. Great for scripting as well.
Does dependency checking!
