New version of AV Linux available.


AV Linux 6.0.3 was released.

"A unscheduled surprise updated ISO for the AV Linux 6.0 series has been released addressing a few bugs on 6.0.2, some important software updates and moves to a newer updated 3.10.27-PAE lowlatency default kernel provided by Trulan Martin. Please note that an optional full preempt RT kernel with headers is also conveniently placed in the home folder for those who feel they may need it. For people using PCI Audio cards and FireWire devices the default lowlatency kernels provide very good performance since AV Linux provides rtirq out-of-the-box, however as USB-2 Audio devices supported by Linux have grown in popularity some of them seem to respond and perform better with a full preempt RT kernel so that is why this option has been provided, it is important to mention RT Kernels can also present challenges with proprietary video drivers and further to that please read on below to the present boondoggle that is custom Linux kernels and proprietary video drivers..."

AV Linux is a versatile, Debian-based distribution featuring a large collection of audio and video production software. Additionally, it also includes a custom kernel with IRQ threading enabled for low-latency audio performance. AV Linux can be run directly from a live DVD or a live USB storage device, though it can also be installed on a hard disk and used as a general-purpose operating system for everyday tasks.
