Slavix
Slavix was an operating system based on Debian, KNOPPIX and Morphix. Its purpose was to make it easy for anyone to switch to GNU/Linux and start using free (as in freedom) software. Slavix was oriented towards a home computer user. It was a live CD system so it was possible to run it CD-ROM without having to install anything to a hard drive. All you need to do was burn the Slavix image file to a CD, put it in your CD-ROM and reboot. It will start up, auto configure itself and in about 3 - 5 minutes it's ready to use. Slavix will not touch your hard drive or mess with you data. A hard disk installer was included and it was fairly easy to use.

After five test versions, Marcos Guglielmetti announced the release of Musix GNU+Linux 1.0r3, a Debian-based distribution containing a comprehensive collection of free software for musicians: "It's a 100% free multimedia operating system intended for music production, graphic design, audio and video edition, and all kind of tasks. It contains an enormous collection of free (as in freedom) programs that can replace Windows or Mac OS X. Musix GNU+Linux 1.0 R3 Stable Live-CD was produced on the basis of the stable version 1.0 R2 and the reports about prior test versions. Musix 1.0 is based on KNOPPIX and Debian/Stable. 1.0 R3 Stable solves several 1.0 R2's problems, among them, the "Inconsistent Filesystem Structure" bug after an improper shutdown and the SATA HD installation bug. English is now the default boot language and new functionalities were added, for instance: automount of CDs, DVDs and USB memories, the "install" boot argument, or the "hormiga" add on for KDE."

Distribution Release: Musix GNU+Linux 3.0.1 |
|
Marcos Guglielmetti has announced the availability of Musix GNU+Linux 3.0.1, an update to the Debian-based distribution designed for musicians: "The development team of Musix GNU+Linux is proud to present stable version 3.0.1. This is a bug-fix release related to installation fail due to missing GRUB package. Also, now the ISO image is 'isohybrid', i.e., it supports booting from USB or DVD media. For this version of the installable live DVD/USB image we added some video editors like Kdenlive 0.9.6, Avidemux and Cinelerra, we also added French and Serbian language support, OpenOffice.org, and solved some minor KDE desktop bugs. Musix 3.0 boots into LXDE by default, but you can choose the tailored KDE and IceWM desktops or the original Fluxbox or Openbox. The os-probe package is installed to detect other systems during hard disk installation. The Linux kernel 3.4.14-gnu-RT23 is compiled from the linux-libre kernel source and 'de-blobed' to be 100% free." Read the release announcement for more details.

Development Release: Musix GNU+Linux 3.0 RC1 |
|
After nearly four years without a stable release, Musix GNU+Linux, a Debian-based distribution designed for musicians, has been resurrected. The new release is a candidate for the upcoming version 3.0: "The development team of Musix GNU+Linux is proud to present version 3.0 release candidate 1 after 11 months of work since the last beta version and four years since the last stable version 2.0. RC1 was released to get reports from users but it's almost a final release. We updated more than 300 programs from Debian 'Wheezy', re-installed KDE, Rakarrack, Jamin, Blender and various other programs for artistic creation. MusixControl works only in terminal, but that will be resolved soon. IceWM, KDE and LXDE are tailored to activities (office, audio, MIDI, graphics, etc.) The Linux kernel 3.4.14-gnu-RT23 is 100% free (and so is all software in Musix) and it operates in real time for audio and music applications." Here is the brief release announcement which is also available in Spanish. Download: MUSIX_GNU+Linux_3.0rc1.iso (1,688MB, MD5). |
