Absolute Linux aims to be a lightweight and easier version of Slackware. Back in the day they had included several original tools to make configuration easier, but their installation still looked (and was) very much Slackware.

It’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but it is very lightweight, usable, and stable.
