Absolute Linux is a lightweight Linux distribution that works on older hardware and is based on Slackware Linux.[2] The client is designed for everyday use (internet, multimedia, documents). Absolute Linux's default file and window managers are IceWM and ROX.[3] Some of the programs offered by default include: GIMP, LibreOffice, Firefox, Xfburn, p7zip and qBittorrent.[4] Many script utilities are included with Absolute Linux to aid with configuration and maintenance of the system.
