This software collection is designed for creating digital content on x86_64 hardware. It includes various software tools for optimizing the process of digital content creation.
With 64 Studio, you will enjoy Debian Pure 64 with X.org and the Gnome desktop. The package selection also includes kernel 2.6.12 with realtime preemption patches and a wide variety of creative applications. However, please take note that this release is only intended for testing purposes and does not come with a warranty.
While 64 Studio has its advantages, there are still some issues that need addressing. These issues include useful packages missing, confusing Gnome menus, and assorted warnings during installation. As such, this release is called the alpha release, which means that there may be other issues that users may encounter.
Despite the issues present in the alpha release, it can still be run and installed on AMD's Opteron and Athlon 64 test hardware. Users who are interested in getting involved with the 64 Studio project are welcome to participate. The goal of the project is to create a distribution with full (optional) commercial support, which can generate revenue to pay free software developers.
Overall, 64 Studio offers promising features that can cater to digital creators. However, users should keep in mind that this is an alpha release, and there may still be issues that need addressing.
