Musix 1.0

The Musix 0.x and 1.0 Rx versions were released from 2005 to 2008, with Musix 
1.0 R6 being the last stable Release on DVD and Musix 1.0 R2R5 the last 
stable release on CD.

The Live-CD system has more than 1350 software packages and runs directly from 
the CD/DVD without the need to install anything on the PC. It can be 
installed on the PC relatively easily if desired in a few minutes, just like 
Knoppix or Kanotix. The Live-DVD 1.0 R3 test5 has 2279 software packages.

Some of the programs include: Rosegarden and Ardour, both for musicians; 
Inkscape for vectorial design; GIMP for manipulation of images; Cinelerra for 
video editing and Blender for 3D animation.

Its desktop is very light (only 18 MB of RAM with X.org), based on 
IceWM+ROX-Filer and it has a unique feature: multiple "pinboards" ordered by 
General Purpose apps, Help, Office, Root/Admin, MIDI, Internet, Graphics, and 
Audio. The pinboards are arrays of desktop backgrounds and icons.

A small version of the KDE desktop is installed by default too on the Live-CD 
version. The Live-DVD has a full KDE version, supporting several languages.

Musix 2.0

Musix 2.0 is being developed using the live-helper scripts from the 
Debian-Live project. The first Alpha version of Musix 2.0 was released on 
2009-03-25 including two realtime patched Linux-Libre kernels.

On 2009-05-17 the first Beta version of Musix 2.0 was released.

The final Musix GNU/Linux 2.0 version on CD, DVD and USB will be launched 
before november 20th 2009 by Daniel Vidal, Suso Comesaña, Carlos 
Sanchiavedraz, Joseangon and other Musix developers. This version will be 
presented at the "Palau Firal de Congressos de Tarragona, España" by Suso 
Comesaña.

Still have one other version knoppix-based developed by a brazilian music 
teacher called Gilberto Borges. This version is not a fork and it's 
named "Adriane" or "Musix Brazil", derivated from Knoppix 6.1 Adriane. This 
version is in RC1 stage.

Marcos Guglielmetti has announced the release of Musix GNU/Linux 2.0, a 100% 
libre, Debian-based distribution with a collection of software for audio 
production, graphics design and video editing: "It is a great pleasure for us 
to announce the availability of version 2.0 of the MUSIX GNU/Linux free 
operating system, after a year of hard community work. You can get MUSIX 2.0 
in two ways: live DVD (plus hard disk installer) and USB (persistent, minimum 
4 GB). Major new features: Linux kernel 2.6.29.4 real-time 'full preempt', 
ready for low-latency audio operations either live or installed to hard disk; 
custom KDE as default desktop (you can also run GNOME, IceWM, Fluxbox, LXDE); 
based on Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 'Lenny'; improved installer and start system; 
persistent USB edition; extensive and updated set of applications...." Read
