Absolute OS 12.1 RC1 (Default branch)

ImageAbsolute 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 MMX with 64MB of RAM (PII 400 with 128MB 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. Along with CD2 there is a large range of software compiled on and for Absolute, including OpenOffice, Mplayer, GIMP, and K3B.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
Enhanced pcmanfm replaces ROX as the default file manager. Rox is still available, and runs desktop and icons. Wicd runs wireless (if enabled in the services menu). Ivman deals with playable media. Kernel 2.6.24.4 is included. Ctrl_Alt+Esc can close X if needed (since icewm and the current Xorg don't play well together with Ctrl+Alt+backspace). Pdfedit has been added. Hplip is working for use with an HP printer to get ink levels, cleaning utilities, etc. Most packages (the toolchain, certainly) are up to date with Slackware current except where there were issues with running software.Image

use NetApp::Filer; my $filer = NetApp::Filer->new({ ... }); # The "version" is: NetApp Release 7.2.2: Sat Mar 24 20:38:59 PDT 2007 my $version = $filer->get_version; # $version->isa("NetApp::Filer::Version") print $version->get_release, " "; # prints "7.2.2" print $version->get_date, " "; # prints "Sat Mar 24 20:38:59 PDT 2007" print $version->get_string, " "; print "$version "; # Both print the same thing, the second one through operator overloading, # namely the original, unparsed version string print $version->get_version, " "; # prints "v7.2.2" DESCRIPTION
