Hello all,

64 Studio 0.9.4 is the first release candidate for the 64 Studio 1.0 
distribution.

The CD image will install a custom Debian system specialised for 
multimedia content creation, including a NUMA-enabled SMP Linux 2.6.17 
kernel with realtime preemption for dual Opteron systems.

If you don't have a 64-bit machine available, we now provide an 
alternative installer for 32-bit PCs - it's the same software, just 
built with i386 binaries.

Download links and mirrors are here:

(More mirrors would be welcome, as we prepare the 1.0 release - we can 
provide you with an rsync feed).

For more details, and to post bug reports, please visit http://64studio.com/

Known bugs in this release:

* DRI support is not enabled in the kernel for some AGP video cards
* Printconf and portmap take too long to configure during the install
* Synaptic may produce an error message until the 'Reload' button is clicked

Enjoy!
