“What It Is AV Linux is a complete Debian-based Linux
distribution that includes optimized audio and video subsystems
along with the expected wealth of system utilities and productivity
software. A live version can be tested and used without disturbing
your installed system, and an installer is provided if/when you
decide to permanently add AV Linux to your boot menu.

The AV Linux Web site tells us that the system is based on the
stable “Squeeze” release from Debian Linux, the LXDE desktop and
Openbox window manager, and the Remastersys utility. That last item
is of particular interest – Remastersys can make a distributable
copy of a personalized Debian or Ubuntu system, which is how AV
Linux came into existence.
