Hello all, 64 Studio Ltd. is a company developing a collection of software for digital content creation on x86_64 hardware (that's AMD's 64-bit CPUs and Intel's EM64T chips). It's based on the pure 64 port of Debian GNU/Linux, but with a specialised package selection and lots of other customisations.
Like to see the work in progress? You can now download an iso image for version 0.2.0 alpha. This will install Debian Pure 64 with X.org, the Gnome desktop and an initial selection of creative applications including music, graphics and publishing tools. http://images.64studio.com/ Please note that there is no low-latency kernel package included in this version, and that this release is provided for testing only. Problems in this release include wrongly configured apt sources, useful packages missing or not installed by default, confusing menus and assorted warnings during installation. There are probably plenty of other things wrong with it as well, which is why we're calling this an alpha release. But it does actually install and run on our Opteron test hardware, so it's a start : ) Needless to say, anyone who is interested in getting involved with the 64 Studio project is most welcome. Our aim is to create a distribution with full (but completely optional) commercial support, which will generate revenue to pay free software developers. Cheers!
