Pre-Alpha Releases are recommended for:

• Regular users who want to help IRQLinux Team to TEST by finding, reporting, and/or fixing bugs
• IRQLinux developers

Download IRQLinux Pre-Alpha

• Before you download the pre-alpha, please remember NOT to install it on a real hardware but rather use a Virtual Machine, such as Oracle VirtualBox.

Check MD5SUM for the downloaded ISO

It is recommended to check your image file so your pre-release is as it’s supposed to be. Compare your MD5 checksum with the correct one:

MD5: d3ac19b23d144e0d6bd005c0258b3e97

Pre-Alpha Highlights
Software Details

Known Issues

(1) Check disc for defects does not work 

(2) After installing IRQLinux Pre-Alpha on Oracle VirtualBox, and when the installation is done, the VirtualBox or Virtual Machine will not reboot so you need to manually close the Virtual Machine and re-run it. This is a very well-known issue on Oracle VirtualBox (google it).
