Hola Dan MacDonald:

Hi Marcos!

What a great project this is! I only discovered Musix a couple of days ago and it is exactly what I've alays wanted from a Linux distro.

Thanks Dan!, I found this email in my SPAM folder :( today!

Problem is that I couldn't get 0.59 to boot. I downloaded the image from

http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/gnu/ftp/gnu+linux-distros/ututo-e/Mu sixGNU-Linux0.59.iso

You should download it using Bit Torrent, as we say in the download page, and you should download Musix 0.59b19

I tried it on 2 different CDs and PCs but it just didn't boot. Could someone please tell me where I can download a working image?

This image you downloaded works only in 50% of PCs. Now I see that the musix.org.ar server is down, but you have a link here :D https://e.ututo.org.ar/utiles/torrent/MusixGNU-Linux0.59.iso.torrent

I DID get 0.50 to boot and install, but booting takes longer than usual due to some weird hotplug error where it scans for devices three times on boot and restart doesn't work although shutdown does.

Musix 0.59 shuold fix it because it uses udev.

I was very happy to see an Openbox/ROX desktop session pre-configured in 0.50 although it is missing a rox-session icon in the taskbar so that you can log-out of X without doing a CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE- is this fixed in 0.59?

Mmmmm... there is an icon, a red icon in the taskbat of openbox to close your desktop, is not there?

The other thing is that Rosegarden 1.4.0 isn't in testing yet.

Sure, I am trying it from an "alienized" version and it works perfect on musix: To install it: Remove rosegarden4 and rosegarden-data packages from your musix apt-get remove rosegarden4 rosegarden-data Download 1.4.0: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4932 Use alien to convert it to deb alien -i rosegarden-1.4.0-1mdk.i586.rpm

Rosegaden 1.4 adds the all important feature of not requiring you to specify a song length before hand and I think thats a very important new feature.

I know these pakages aren't in Debian yet, but I'd really like to see Cinelerra, xdtv (xawdecode) and DeVeDe make it into Musix one day.

There is a Musix 0.60 version with cinelerra, nvu, blender, inkscape, but I should test some things to release such a version, because I had to remove a lot of packages to make room: AMSN, VIM, MC, locale support (pt, fr, etc.), and development files.... so, I am thinking how could we make it possible.

I'm not running Musix atm- is goobox included as standard? It should be.

Y dont know goobox, what is it?

Looking forward to a new release!
