The Future of Absolute

Absolute Linux will continue development under eXybit Technologies, built with the same approach and structure we've used to develop RefreshOS. We're not here to reinvent what made Absolute great, we're here to carry it forward.

Since 2007, Absolute has stood for being simple, pre-configured, and lightweight. Slackware made easy. That core philosophy isn't changing. Absolute will always be free, open-source, built for ease of use, and based on the Slackware foundation.

What to Expect

As of now, there is no set release date for the first eXybit-developed stable version of Absolute Linux. We're bringing Absolute into modern computing while keeping it minimal. The first step is to preserve what already exists, rebuild the underlying infrastructure, and create a canary version of the next major stable release.

Legacy Versions Still Available

You can still download the original versions of Absolute Linux by Paul Sherman on SourceForge.
