Absolute is a lightweight Slackware Linux derivative distribution that uses an Icewm, ROX-Filer window/file manager combination. It comes with Firefox, The GIMP, MPlayer, K3B, kTorrent, Gaim, Frostwire, Gftp, StarDict, Skype, and many other titles all set up and ready to run. Several utilities are included to ease configuration and management. It is compatible with all Slackware 11 packages and can be installed just like a Slackware disk, except that you cannot choose which packages to install or remove, as it just installs everything.

Changes:
The kernel source was misconfigured (to compile against), and kernel size was too large for older PCs. This has been fixed. The source code for ROX was altered for nice interface additions, NTFS read-write was implemented, and K3B now works for user accounts without any extra configuration.
