Absolute is Slack based . . . you can't go wrong with that ! ( although I did read a review that the before-latest version was better then the latest one )I have tested Absolute 12.0.1 myself ( few years ago ) and was very very pleased with it

I downloaded 12.2.25. They have a whole new package format for this version. Should be interesting. From the website:I'm burning the CD now. Will install later today. Tired now.

Absolute 12.2.5 releasedFriday, 06/05/2009:New kernel, new package format, new pythonEvery single package has been at least re-packed, majority modified/updated. Interface updated along with kernel, python, packaging system which is now txz-based and due to higher compression the main release contains much more than previously: OpenOffice and Java, as well as many other applications now fit on a single CD.Pcmanfm and rox have both been modified to seamlessly work with the TXZ package archives as well as the new "Add/Remove Programs" item in root menu. New volume control (now in system tray, sleeker.) New theme, more complete file type handling.
