64 Studio offers x86_64 hardware compatible software suite for creators to conveniently produce digital content.
It should be noted that the current release is provided for testing purposes only and carries no warranty. There might be some missing or uninstalled packages, confusing Gnome menus, and various warnings during the installation. These factors, along with several other issues, classify this version as an alpha release. However, it can successfully install and run on Opteron and Athlon 64 test hardware.
The 64 Studio project invites anyone interested to become involved in its development. Their goal is to create a distribution with optional commercial support that generates revenue to compensate free software developers. The recent release is formulated to preserve compatibility with Debian Etch, resulting in a long-lasting and stable platform for the creative desktop. The software combines Etch's stability and quality with a specialized real-time preemption kernel and the latest multimedia tools demanded by artists. The default settings are custom-tailored to simplify installation and get production going quickly. The target is to allow users to progress from a blank hard disk to an optimally configured and functional creative desktop in around half an hour.
