Absolute Linux是Slackware Linux的轻量级修改。它包含了一些实用工具以使配置和维护变得容易，它还包含很多通用桌面和因特网应用程序，它们被安装和配置为与菜单、应用及MIME类型紧密结合。Absolute Linux的窗口环境是IceWM，它采用ROX作为其文件管理器。

        Paul Sherman has announced the release of Absolute Linux 13.0.2, a new update of the lightweight distribution based on Slackware Linux: "Absolute Linux 13.0.2 released. GTK+ themes engines included along with customized theme changing utility (gtk-chtheme) that calls script that changes IceWM theme, PCMan File Manager desktop background and ROX-Filer background. Makes our lightweight interface more cohesive, but if any setting should fail it does so silently so you can hack away changing stuff and it will not mess up your system. Brasero has replaced K3b. KDE libraries, KDE Multimedia and Arts have all been removed. If you want KDE, you can safely drop in the entire Slackware KDE packages, but for the UI-stay-out-of-my-way types, we've eliminated more overhead. Updates include: Firefox, SeaMonkey, Flash plugin, IceWM and a number of scripts in the a/etc package." Here is the full release announcement. Download (MD5): absolute-13.0.2.iso (685MB).（责任编辑：A6）
