The distro is available for download as a two Live DVD ISO images, one for each of the supported hardware platforms, 32-bit (i386) and 64-bit (amd64). It comes with a custom boot prompt that allows users to start the live environment with default settings or use the safe graphics mode.

The Synaptic Package Manager and Ubuntu Software Center applications are also included, allowing users to easily and quickly find and install new applications, as well as to update or remove existing ones.
Summing up, Albatross-X is a decent and old-school Linux distribution that is stable, reliable and fully customizable. It includes a traditional desktop environment powered by Xfce and all the applications that you will need on a daily basis.
