Support:

AV Linux is developed and provided free of charge as an independent spare time project
and therefore does not come with a full time support system like larger established
Linux Distributions do. In the past a User Forum was provided but could not be
maintained adequately so it was closed but an archive with some useful information can
be found here:

AV Linux Forum Archive

A 3rd party maintained PDF (thanks Piklik!) with information about Audio and Video
hardware supported by AV Linux can be found here:

AV Linux uses Systemback as an installation method and therefore inherits it’s

limitations, at the current time UEFI boot is only possible with 64bit and may not work
with all UEFI computers.

Read/Write Access, this is NOT malicious in nature it is simply a convenience feature to
facilitate accessing media files to demo with the Audio/Video Applications, a side
benefit is it also makes AV Linux a very useful tool for data rescue. After evaluating the
