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:
Kernel woes have been put to rest. The final
kernel image is 2570k and
can install on a Pentium Classic with just 48MB of
RAM. Any lingering
patent-encumbered software has been removed.
Several UI tweaks have
been made and source code diffs included for
customized KDE-LIBS and
abs_fdisk used by linHDD. An ISO is now available
from SourceForge, as
well as a zip file containing ISO and HTML
installation instructions.
