64Studio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
64 Studio is a free, Debian/GNU-based operating system distribution designed for creative users on AMD64 and EM64T hardware architectures. It intends to serve as an all-in-one solution for audio and video recording, editing, and other forms of media production. Since 64 Studio is distributed with a free software license, anyone with a 64-bit computer, like the Athlon 64, can legally install it on their computer (in place of or alongside the well-known Windows operating system). An alternative installer is available for legacy 32-bit systems with processors such as Pentium and Athlon.
There is information and a free CD-R image download available on the 64studio webpage and a development mailing list. The major differences between this distribution and basic Debian are a custom kernel with realtime patches applied, some pre-configuration and a custom package selection designed to meet the needs of creative desktop users. Other packages may also be modified to some extent, as are the basic GNOME desktop themes.
[edit] Beta release
The project released the first beta of 64 Studio, version 0.9.0 code-named 'Toe Rag', on the 1st August 2006. The release was named in honour of the all-analogue Toe Rag Studios in London, England.
