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.
