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:
A new kernel (tickless, low-latency desktop
preemptive model, Pentium
Classic minimum CPU) wicd replaces wifi-radar (set
the wicd daemon to
start when you install, or later in the root
services menu; a tray icon
appears when using icewm). This is primarily a
maintenance release,
updating packages to current. It includes
gimp-2.4.3 with all the
SCRIP-FU updates from gimphelp.org.
