AV Linux

AV Linux è una versatile distribuzione Linux basata su Debian contenente una grande collezione di software audio e video. Inoltre include un kernel custom con il threading IRQ abilitato per avere una bassa latenza. Può essere utilizzata direttamente da live DVD o da chiavetta USB, anche se può essere installata per l’utilizzo quotidiano nel pc.

Versione 6.0.3

Questa versione ha il kernel a bassa latenza RT 3.10.27-PAE.
