Absolute Linux is a lightweight modification of Slackware. Makes configuration and maintenance much easier, has common applications installed and configured. Plays audio CDs, DVDs and movies "out of the box", easy to configure and simple to use.

Uses icewm/rox-filer for window/file managers. Has backup of fluxbox/fox pathfinder.

Installer is same setup as Slackware, with a couple changes. Automatically installs all packages that weight in at 1.7Gb when complete.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· This release corrects two issues. The utility for adding users was corrected, as it had failed to start due to importing a module that is no longer used.
· A new auto-start daemon (for audio CDs, movie DVDs, and PTP cameras) was installed to replace ivman, which did not work. The new app is halevt.
