New Red Hat Multimedia Oriented Distribution

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the do-you-hear-what-I-hear dept.

ezadro writes "I just spotted this article at LinuxToday about Redhat being directly involved in a new distribution that will be known as ReHMuDi, which stands for Red Hat Multimedia Distribution." The goal seems to be a system for professional audio composers and engineers. Don't expect it for awhile- they have 24 months scheduled to do it, although it looks like releases will start by the end of 02.

    Windows is a great server OS. It's even a great desktop OS, if you know what you're doing. But why replace it?

    It's nice to dream, but for now an the forseeable future, the userland software for a free, open source operating system just won't be there. There's barely enough software for DOS...a free, open source operating system just wouldn't compete.

    Until the userland software's written, there's no point in making a free, open source operating system that pretends to supplant Windows.

    Besides, about 98% of professionals use Windows. The other 2% use Macs. :)
