[LAU] Release announcement, Musix GNU+Linux 1.0 R1 Stable

[Marcos Guglielmetti]

Thanks to the support of the Ututo Proyect, FSF, Ourproject, and to the usual 
collaborators, the Musix project has just released Musix GNU+Linux 1.0 R1 
Stable, a new version of the 100% Free Software Multimedia Operating System 
for artists and general users.

After 2 years of hard work, the Musix project team is proud to announce the 
release of the first stable version of Musix.

Musix is a 100% Free Multimedia Operating System derived from Knoppix and 
Debian/Stable, designed for artists as well as general users. Musix is 
specialized in audio and music production, but it also includes high quality 
software for graphics, video edition and many other tasks.

This new release includes the Linux Kernel 2.6.21. The documentation was 
updated and many important applications were upgraded (among those: Ardour 
2.0.0.2, Rosegarden 1.5.1 and the Musix's Control Panel). Some new programs 
were also installed (MScore, Nekobee and more). Many bugs were corrected and 
some new functionality added.

The start-up system has been improved, (the "knoppix" boot argument and other 
options were added).

The graphical artwork in the user interface and the functionality were 
improved: now it is really easy to change colour themes. KDE and GNOME 
applications look almost identical using the same colour palette and icon 
theme (crystalsvg). Now applications like The GIMP (GTK2) and Rosegarden 
(KDE) appear user-friendlier.

Software featured in Musix 1.0 R1 includes: Ardour 0.99.3 & Ardour 2.0.0.2 
(audio sequencer), Rosegarden 1.5.1 (audio/midi sequencer), Cinelerra (video 
edition), Bluefish (web design), The GIMP (image manipulation), Inkscape 
(vectorial graphic design), Blender3D (3D rendering and animation), Musix 
Control and more.
