Description:
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.
See at http://www.pcbypaul.com/absolute/index.html for
details.
What's New in 12.1.0 Beta 2 Development Release:
· This is another new kernel (2.6.23.12) which I
compiled with tickless (for laptop lower-power, for battery life
extension). Also switched preemption model to low-latency desktop,
plus the usual extra includes instead of modules for user-needed
stuff like MMC (SD) cards, USB mass storage, NTFS, etc. Other major
change is for wireless - switched to wicd. Be sure to enable wicd
daemon when installing if you want to use wireless, when you do
this you will see the wicd tray icon next to the clock when using
IceWM, you can configure wicd from there. Package highlights: GIMP
2.4.3, Firefox 2.0.0.11, GTK+ 2.12.4, libpng security fix, and
about 100 other packages.
