AV Linux 6.0 Has Been Officially Released

Glen MacArthur proudly announced yesterday, August 16th, the immediate availability for download of the AV Linux 6.0 operating system.

AV Linux 6.0 comes after a very long and turbulent development period, to bring to its users an improved release, with updated packages, new features and other important changes. At the end of the article you can check an introductory video to AV Linux 6.0, as well as an installation video tutorial!

"This release is dedicated to those rare, unique and amazingly generous people who kept AV Linux alive with donations, some of you have even donated more than once and although the ratio of downloaders to donators was unfortunately far from an effective fundraising model that does not in any way diminish my appreciation for the generosity demonstrated by all of you. My humble and sincere thanks..." · was stated in the official release announcement.
