Absolute OS 12.0.4 (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:
Many security related and application updates. Firefox 3.0.1 is built on Absolute using xulrunner libraries. Midori (a lighter/faster Web browser) is on CD 2. This release introduces a utility to change the default browser so that you can switch quite seamlessly to Midori, Netsurf, Opera, etc. (on a per-user basis). The new xorg-server works properly with icewm. wcPython has been moved to CD 2, and all wx-dependent utilities rewritten with the pyGTK toolkit. The CUPs daemon runs by default to avoid printer-install confusion.Image
