64 Studio version 2.1
64 Studio Ltd. produces bespoke GNU/Linux distributions which are compatible with official Debian and Ubuntu releases. Specialising in multimedia and digital content creation platforms which they develop for the OEM partners, they also offer support, documentation services and consultancy. The software is already included in several shipping products in the professional audio market, with more to follow. In addition, they offer a free download product which has won critical acclaim for its stability and high performance.
Thinking of giving the free distro a try? You can download an installer for version 2.1 (both 64-bit and 32-bit versions). This will install Debian with X.org, the Gnome desktop, Linux kernel 2.6.21 with realtime preemption patches (including a realtime SMP kernel for AMD64 and Intel 64 dual core and multi-processor machines) and a selection of creative applications. These applications cover audio and music, video, 2D and 3D graphics, publishing for the web or print, and the internet and office tools a creative user is likely to need for their daily work. Adding your favourite packages from Debian Etch is as easy as apt-get, or a few clicks in Synaptic.
To upgrade from a previous install to the latest release, please see the upgrade page. You can take a look at the open bugs and wishlist tickets on the development site.
