Hi Will,
> Not officially dead yet, but smelling quite funny
to me....
I've been waiting for an update on this too :(
Stay tuned, there will be a public announcement next month :-)
As for Debian vs. Ubuntu, using Ubuntu as a base for the 64 Studio 3.x
series releases forced a number of compromises which I was never
entirely happy with. We're now using Squeeze-based components to create
our next distro, and I'm glad to say that the early performance results
are very promising.
Cheers!

Hi Rosea,
The main issues were the regular breakage of packages which were
important to us, especially in universe, and the integration of
PulseAudio. Ubuntu moves forward boldly, but not always in the direction
we wanted to go :-)
We still package for Ubuntu, and produce bespoke versions for our
customers. We just felt that squeeze would be a better choice for our
next audio workstation distro.
Cheers!
Daniel

Hey Daniel,
In the Debian Multimedia Team there is the idea or maybe even the plan
to make some sort of multimedia backports repo (from experimental /
unstable / testing) for Squeeze, maybe this could be a collaborate
effort with the 64studio team? Less work, more packages, more quality :)

Yes, we already have a small (but growing) repo for Squeeze packages.

I had a look at the Debian Multimedia Team's web pages (DMT - is that
acronym accidental?)
Excellent stuff such as how to create an uncrippled ffmpeg:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/FFmpegUnstripped
And plans for a new multimedia-apps repository:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/debimedia
Great work! Thanks!!
Joel
Cheers!

Hi Will,
That is good news indeed! I know a lot of people were miffed when you
announced you were switching to using buntu as the base for the new
version and rightfully so- especially since 10.04 as the distro seems
to be spiralling to its demise with stupid decisions.
Ubuntu does a few things that (greatly) improve its user-friendliness
for noobs hence its what I used to recommend to beginners but I can't
recommend something that doesn't work properly so now I'll be
recommending Debian Mint to newbs or the new 64studio when that gets
released for people who want to do audio- when it finally arrives
(version 6.6?;)

Hi allcoms,
I know a lot of people were miffed when you

It made a certain amount of sense at the time. Our customers were asking
for Ubuntu rather than Debian, and the timed release cycle of Ubuntu
looked attractive.

The new distro will be a little different, in that it will be
pro-audio-specific rather than general-creative-desktop. So it will be
under a new name and numbering scheme.
Cheers!

Debian specialized audio spin. :-)
Looking forward. When / where will a testing ISO be on offer? Would be
intrested in testing a bit...

Big, broad smile from ear to ear :-)
I considered "electric" justifying its name extremely well and look
forward to a worthy successor.
Anything one could do to help?

Transmission is only 39.00 for LAU and LAD.
We are at 4.2 now.
