Shocking "white power" Apartheid Linux

[4CxbqFxVnstmA Veteran]

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:

Took out links so we don't promote this....

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....

I'm shocked!

At how bad the wallpaper and button is.

So what's different about it? Can you slap on a different wallpaper and call it a new Linux distribution?

[Chris123NT]

Wow they make linux distros for everything these days LOL

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.

Desktop's quite dark considering - I thought it'd be like looking at the surface of the sun!! :D

[articuno1au]

Hilarious. Immensely distasteful but hilarious..

[Asrokhel]

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!

I shall release my own Linux, I'll call it the White Powder Linux, featuring wallpaper:

[BajiRav]

Can't wait to use this! Can anyone confirm if they have removed all code contributions from non-white people?

/s

:rofl:

[derkim]

and with this thread we give them a platform. Everything is available: Screenshot, logo and link for download.

[Nihilus]

a distro for white supremacists.

Whatever happened to "I do not agree with what OS you run, but I will defend to the death your right to compile it.".

Or something like that.

[articuno1au]

Ehh, they are entitled to a voice like everyone else. It's merely a pity they use their voices to be incredible douche bags..

[Buttus]

I wonder if they use any programs written by non-whites in there?

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....

[articuno1au]

The distro is built on racial ignorance, why not GNU licensing ignorance to boot?

I would not blame you. But I think not for every things we should be so precise with sources with links.

[Farstrider]

Weird ****! How dare they sully Linux's good name with their pathetic little group ideology!

Lucky racist asshats don't know how to use google, i get your point though >.<

How about White Power Ranger Linux?

[bjoswald]

I'd give it a try if it wasn't so ugly.

[Haggis Veteran]

I wanna know what base its based on

[Growled Member]

Is it April 1st already?

[Hum]

No reason Whites can't be proud -- it's OK for anybody else.
