Absolute Linux's default file and window managers are IceWM and ROX.[2] Some of the programs offered by default include: GIMP, OpenOffice, Google Chrome, Xfburn, p7zip, AbiWord, and Pidgin.[3] Many script utilities are included with Absolute Linux to aid with configuration and maintenance of the system.
