IceWM

Absolute Linux exists to smooth over Slackware's famously manual, do-it-yourself configuration process: it takes Slackware's stable package base and ships a fully pre-configured IceWM desktop with sensible defaults, a functioning menu, and common applications ready to go, rather than leaving the user to build a working desktop from a bare Slackware install themselves. It keeps Slackware's straightforward package format and traditional Unix-like system layout underneath, appealing to users who want Slackware's simplicity and stability without its steeper initial setup curve. It remains one of the more actively maintained lightweight Slackware derivatives aimed at everyday desktop use on modest hardware.
