Absolute, a x86 Linux distribution based upon Slackware that concentrates on "desktop" use so that it is ready for Internet, multimedia, document and general home use out of the box, is now at version 13.50.

Being a lightweight distribution, Absolute runs on older hardware and the OS interface stays out of your way. This means that the changes must reflect this philosophy.

Highlights of Absolute 13.50:

· Updated to Chromium 19.0.1065.0; · Updated audacious-plugins to version 3.2; · Icewm 1.3.7; · Linux kernel 3.2.7; · LibreOffice was updated to 3.5.0; · Mozilla Thunderbird updated to 10.0.2; · Mozilla Firefox updated to 10.0.2.

Absolute is version-compatible with Slackware so users can use almost any package from the same version of Slackware, on Absolute. Development libraries (headers) for everything installed are always included, so you can code and/or build almost anything from source.
