| -Absolute Linux: Absolute is a lightweight desktop (it boasts an
| idle RAM usage of only 26MB with certain services disabled), but
| the CD comes with an enormous number of programs. It uses IceWM,
| and is based on Slackware.
|
| -DeLi (Desktop Lite): A small, independent distribution. The CD
| image is only about 130MB, and it is designed to run on really
| old machines- it can run on 8MB of RAM. Also uses IceWM.
