New in Musix GNU+Linux 3.0 RC2 (Nov 2, 2013)
- The development team of Musix GNU+Linux is proud to present version 3.0 Release Candidate 2. We didn’t found serious bugs, so we corrected the known ones and we think this is a great release. If nothing weird happens in the span of about two weeks, this will be the Musix 3.0 stable that we were all waiting for. Then we will make some improvements for Musix 3.1 (MusixControl running graphically) but there should be minor differences.

It includes new versions of programs for musicians compiled by Spanish guitarist Carlos Pino - Ardor 2.8, jackd 0.116.1, lmms-vst 0.4.4, lv2core 3.0, Qtractor 0.4.1, Rosegarden 1.7.3... As a new addition, we added GNOME to the supported desktops - KDE, LXDE and IceWM + Rox.

English, Spanish, Portuguese and French are fully supported. We have included two new realtime-patched Linux kernels: 2.6.27-free (which replaces the 2.6.26.8-libre2), with new modules and bug fixes, and the 2.6.24.7-rt-libre3 boot option for better hardware compatibility. The 2.6.29.1-libre-rt kernel is included on the DVD but it will work only on installed systems. Desktops: IceWM, LXDE and KDE 3.5.10.

New in Musix GNU+Linux 1.0r6 (Dec 10, 2008)
- After three months of testing, the stable release of Musix GNU+Linux live DVD 1.0R6 is out. It's a 100% free operating system for artists focused on music production, graphics design and video editing, based on Debian 'Etch' and KNOPPIX. Some packages were upgraded since Musix live DVD 1.0R4, the knoppix-installer fonts now look good, an old kernel 2.6.16 from Musix 0.99 was added to support old hardware. Also, there are many backports made by the Musix team; we highlight LMMS, Jackd, Mscore, Rosegarden and Ardour. This DVD is used daily in music schools, so we know what teachers and students need.
