Daniel James has announced the release of 64 Studio 2.1, an updated version of the Debian-based distribution designed for musicians and digital artists: "64 Studio 2.1 'A Minha Menina' released! 64 Studio is a GNU/Linux distribution tailor-made for digital content creation, including audio, video, graphics and publishing tools.

The second stable release of 64 Studio, a Debian-based distribution with a collection of software for digital content creation, is now available: "64 Studio 2.0 is designed to retain compatibility with Debian Etch, to create a long-lived and stable creative desktop.

Our tweaks to Debian include simplified installation and default settings which help get production under way quickly. It's our target that users should be able to get from a blank hard disc to a fully hardware-optimised and usable creative desktop in just half an hour."

Daniel James has announced the first release candidate of 64 Studio 2.0, a Debian-based distribution with a collection of software for digital content creation: "We are glad to announce that 64 Studio 2.0-rc1 has been released. The code name for this release is shamelessly lifted from the second track on Strictly Personal, the second album by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band. Please note that this is still a testing release, so if you want to stick with the stable version of 64 Studio just use the 1.0 installer. However we think this release is in pretty good shape, and expect to release 2.0 final later this month. The changelog is available here."

Free Ekanayaka has released the first development build of 64 Studio 2.0, labelled as version 1.1.0: "I've prepared a test 1.1.0 release, which is meant to be the first of the testing releases which will lead to the next stable 2.0 release.

That said, the new 1.1.0 release is just an update of the 1.0.0 one, sporting the new 2.6.19 kernel I've packaged, see this changelog. You can dist-upgrade from a plain 1.0.0 install using the testing repository.

Free Ekanayaka has announced a new testing release of 64 Studio, a Debian-based Linux distribution with a collection of software for digital content creation: "This is just to let you know that I've built a new ISO with a new 2.6.18 kernel, which includes the latest 2.6.18.2 patches and version rt6 of the realtime-prempt patch. The kernel and the relevant modules are the only differences with respect to 0.9.5, so if you prefer you can just install them from the testing repository. The i386 kernel has been built with HPET disabled, so it should work fine on dual processors too. For AMD64 users, please give it a try and let me know if the new kernel solves the boot issues with 2.6.18." Here is the release announcement.
