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.
