64-bit creative distro

makes first stable release

The 64 Studio project produces a distribution of native free software for digital content creation on x86_64 hardware. After 18 months of development, the project has made its first stable release available for free download. Version 1.0 is named 'Olympic' in recognition of the work of Glyn Johns and Eddie Kramer at Olympic Studios in Barnes, south-west London, where albums were made by Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.

The distribution is based on the pure 64 port of Debian GNU/Linux, testing branch, but with a specialised package selection and many other customisations. The project also produces a 32-bit edition for legacy PC hardware.

Each downloadable CD image installs Debian with X.org, the Gnome 2.14 desktop, Linux kernel 2.6.17 with realtime preemption patches (a realtime SMP kernel for AMD64 dual core and multi-processor machines is available on the 64-bit CD) 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 favourite packages from Debian's testing branch is said to be as easy as apt-get, or a few clicks in Synaptic.

The distribution is described as stable on the project's dual processor Opteron, dual core Athlon 64 and single core Turion test hardware, and is already in daily use by many of the project's testers. The 32-bit version has been tested on a variety of older PC hardware, including a Via C3 and a dual Pentium Pro, but the project suggests a faster processor and at least 512MB RAM to take full advantage of the distribution's features.

The aim of the 64 Studio project is to create a distribution with full, but completely optional, commercial support, which will generate revenue to pay free software developers. The 64 Studio Ltd. company, which supports the free software project, is also producing custom distributions for commercial partners with Linux-based audio products. <64studio.com>
