OpenIndiana
OpenIndiana is a continuation of the OpenSolaris operating system. It was conceived during the period of uncertainty following the Oracle takeover of Sun Microsystems, after several months passed with no binary updates made available to the public. The formation proved timely, as Oracle discontinued OpenSolaris soon after in favour of Solaris 11 Express, a binary distribution with a more closed development model to début later this year. OpenIndiana is part of the illumos Foundation, and provides a true open-source community alternative to Solaris 11 and Solaris 11 Express, with an open development model and full community participation.

Development Release: 64 Studio 2.0 RC1 |
|
Daniel James has announced the first release candidate of 64 Studio 2.0, a Debian-based distribution with a collection of software for digital content creation: "We are glad to announce that 64 Studio 2.0-rc1 has been released.

However we think this release is in pretty good shape, and expect to release 2.0 final later this month. The changelog is available here."

Development Release: 64 Studio 0.9.7 |
|
Free Ekanayaka has announced a new testing release of 64 Studio, a Debian-based Linux distribution with a collection of software for digital content creation: "This is just to let you know that I've built a new ISO with a new 2.6.18 kernel, which includes the latest 2.6.18.2 patches and version rt6 of the realtime-prempt patch. The kernel and the relevant modules are the only differences with respect to 0.9.5, so if you prefer you can just install them from the testing repository. The i386 kernel has been built with HPET disabled, so it should work fine on dual processors too. For AMD64 users, please give it a try and let me know if the new kernel solves the boot issues with 2.6.18." Here is the release announcement.
