I actually think it is a bonus that slim is not installable on ascii,
Unless things have changed, it is a dead project, it is also about as
much use as chocolate fire guard if you need to connect to a Samba AD
domain. One of the first things I do after installing Devuan is
replace slim with lightdm. You are quite at liberty to use slim if you
like, but I will never use it ;-)
