Subpackage Descriptions
complete This is the slim-standard metapackage. It pulls in all subpackages of slim-standard.
primary SLiM or the "Simple Login Manager" is a desktop-independent graphical login manager for X11, derived from Login.app. It is meant to be light-weight and thus just provides basic display manager functionality necessary for graphical user login. SLiM does however include the feature to choose which desktop environment to start on a per-login basis. Use the F1 key to cycle through the available options (the login manager uses the xdg-style .desktop files that come with most DEs). SLiM also supports themes and features like autologin, but that's about it. Notably there's no support for foreign keyboard layouts. The original project has not been maintained since 2013. This project was forked from the last release, V1.3.6, incorporating fixes to bring it up to date with developments in Linux.
