The second major release of Apartheid Linux 14, codenamed «Houston Stewart Chamberlain» is now available for download.
AL14 differs from most distributions of GNU/linux out there. Like Arch and Gentoo it does not have fixed releases, but can be continually upgraded. And unlike Arch or Gentoo, AL14 can be run by users with little or no prior experience with GNU/Linux.
It can be booted from a CD and tested without touching your hard drive.
AL14 is optimized to run on as much hardware as possible. It features the LXDE desktop environment and the Faenza icon theme.
Included in the iso is among other applications:
Transmission - torrent client VLC Media Player - video player Abiword -word processor Gpicview - image viewer bleachbit – system cleaning program evince – PDF viewing client Chromium Web Browser flash-player-plugin – flash support libdvdcss2 - DVD support kernel-2.6.38.8-pclos1.bfs-1 – BFS kernel for maximum desktop performance leafpad – text editor lxdecc – LXDE Control Center LiveUSB Creator – Put AL14 on USB key disk DeadBeef- Music Players nano – Console Text Editor pcmanfm- File Manager Partimage - backup tool Tor browser bundle - anonymous web browsing with Vidalia, Tor and Firefox
Always remember to do the following prior to installing anything and to keep your system up to date with the latest upgrades:

Roadmap:
I'll try to keep AL14 alive and release new isos every few months. Since AL14 is a rolling release, keeping the system properly upgraded will make sure you always have the latest version, hence there is no need to reinstall.
If there is anything you can do to help this project, let me know. I am especially interested in getting in touch with people who know how to make remasters or would like to learn how to.
