I just made my first successful Slackware installation last night, one purpose hoped for which was to run TDE on it. Before I can do that, I have all to learn about its package management system. I gave it the maximum space I ever give a test installation, 8GB, and only have 1.2G freespace remaining after limiting installation to A, AP, KDE, L, N, X, XAP, which I hoped would leave around half the filesystem in freespace. I have a lot of removing to do before I can try adding TDE to it. :(
