4CxbqFxVnstmA Veteran Posted July 3, 2012 Veteran Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) We have seen various Linux distros that cater to religious inclinations (Christianity, Islam, Satanism, Scientism), but this is the first I have heard of a distro for white supremacists. Apartheid Linux 14 codenamed ?Houston Stewart Chamberlain? [after an obscure nineteenth-century "racialist writer"] 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. Rightfully banned on LinuxTracker this shocking distro contains images such as this: and this: Edited July 4, 2012 by Barney Took out links so we don't promote this....

Barney T. Administrators Posted July 3, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 3, 2012 White Supremacists.... is there no end to the bigotry of some people? :no: I removed the links to this distro for the same reason that the distro is not promoted by LinuxTracker. These guys have the right to build a distro like this, but we don't have to give them a platform here.... f0rk_b0mb, +Majesticmerc, 4CxbqFxVnstmA and 4 others 7 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123456789A Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So what's different about it? Can you slap on a different wallpaper and call it a new Linux distribution? Xerax 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123456789A Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I also think that logo is funny because I always called those paper picnic plates with the 3 sections on them "apartheid plates" since they keep your food from spilling over into the other sections. Their logo makes me think of those plates. Picnic Linux. Glassed Silver 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asrokhel Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Okay, don't these idiots know that Linux, as well as a lot of the applications in this distro, are also being programmed by people who are not white!

Nihilus Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 a distro for white supremacists.

4CxbqFxVnstmA Veteran Posted July 3, 2012 Author Veteran Share Posted July 3, 2012 and with this thread we give them a platform. Everything is available: Screenshot, logo and link for download. I wasn't trying to give them a platform. I was trying to expose them. I can't believe anyone here would seriously want to use this... at least I hope not! (Maybe I shouldn't have included all the links. But I used to be a news reporter for Neowin and we were always made to cite our sources properly.) Some people have already pointed out the irony of the whole thing. The "white power" racist exclusion is contrary to the freedom of GNU software. I don't think the people who made that distro see the irony.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
