What is AV Linux?

AV Linux is a versatile, Debian-based distribution featuring a large collection of audio and video production software.

AV Linux 2016 Installation on VMware Step by Step

AVL 2016.8.30 New Features and Improvements:

1. Updated to 4.4.6-RT Kernel with fixed 32bit app support and VBox module building support.
2. Enabled running shell scripts by clicking in Thunar to ease installing Ardour and Mixbus bundles
3. Fixed WinFF presets for aac encoding
4. Added some module configs for AMD Video cards and modesetting.
5. Complete new 'Hooli' theme for AVL 32bit (note 'resize' is in the Hooli window manager titlebar options)
6. Complete Removal of Kdenlive and KDE5 runtime components... Kdenlive is simply not in a good place right now to feature on a LiveISO. As always you can install it later if you want it.
7. Complete removal of LibreOffice... it updates far too often and wastes huge amounts of time and bandwidth to keep current in my development builds.
8. New Slim theme and custom wallpapers provided by Harrison Consoles.
9. Added 'catfish' file search and integrated with Thunar
10. Added 'Transmission' to provide a Bittorrent client
11. Updates to manual and new section on GPT/UEFI.
12. Removed Audacious and VLC and replaced both with mpv (new fork of Mplayer2), very light and easy to use from Thunar
13. Removed old sources.list entries and replaced KXStudio GCC-5 repos with the latest versions
14. Updated to Ardour 5.3.0 and Mixbus 3.6.0
