GETTING STARTED WITH AV LINUX MX EDITION – VIDEO:

 

 

DOWNLOADS:

Downloads are provided on my own VPS. ISO files with accompanying MD5, SHA256 and SIG files are all provided for security verification. AVL-MXe is only available in 64bit architecture with MX ‘AHS’ (Advanced Hardware Support).

AV Linux MX Edition is provided free of charge and is fully functional. It takes a tremendous amount of time and effort to develop and maintain such a specialized Operating System and these efforts all have associated costs both monetary and otherwise. If you use AVL-MXe regularly I would ask you to consider making a donation here or to the MX Linux parent organization in recognition of the costs involved. People doing content production regularly purchase various Add-ons, Plugins and other Applications in the course of their work, I would ask you to give the same consideration to the Operating System that hosts them. Thanks!

Retrieve the AV Linux GPG Key with this command:

AV Linux MX Edition contains some Customized Applications and Packaging that is not available within a Repository at this time. In the event that you need to retrieve or reinstall any of that special Packaging an archived web FTP folder has been provided for your convenience here

SUPPORT:

This is a spare time project, it has been maintained since 2008 when time and resources are available, I cannot commit to full time daily support and as such there is no dedicated User Forum. Most common questions are covered in the Video linked above and when time allows I can be found in the MX Linux Respins sub-forum. Help is always needed and wanted for existing Users of AVL-MXe to assist other Users.
