About:
Absolute Linux is a lightweight Slackware
derivative that uses an Icewm, pcmanfm, ROX-Filer,
ivman, and others to create a lightweight yet easy
to use distribution. Installation is text-based
but simplified, and all packages are installed at
once. It can run on a Pentium II and above,
including SMP systems. A minimum 128MB RAM is
recommended. It features ease of browsing any
connected device in pcmanfm and an auto-popup menu
for inserted playable media. "Restricted" codecs
are available to those eligible via a root-user
installer. There is a large range of software
available, including OpenOffice, Mplayer, GIMP,
and K3B.

lol... if it wasn't that deceptive

Absolutely.
Did you already encounter simple and elegant use cases with *data loss*
thanks to ROX-Filer? Its XML desktop is even more horror than the
Slackware itself :-(

Absolute-OS
by fanningm76 - Feb 5th 2007 12:38:36
I am happy to see the birth of this os. It seems to me to support the
ideals of open source/ linux those ideals being a focus on individual
applications to get stuff done in contrast to a monolithic structure to get
everything done. I hope this os has a long life. Thank you.
