Absolute Linux

Recently I was looking for some other lighter versions of Linux. Lightweight modification of Slackware that uses Icewm/ROX for window/file management. Easy to setup in that all packages are installed by default with most used applications for a typical desktop preconfigured. Simple to maintain in that there are MANY helper utilities to perform what would be command line tasks or detailed file editing on a stock Slackware install. Secure and speedy with very limited overhead, few daemons and system/software configuration must be done as root. Especially appropriate for use on older hardware and in an academic/business environment. CD-2 includes additional software preconfigured for use (menus and mime types) including OpenOffice, WPClipart, Scribus and a large group of games.
