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.

  1. why must Linux be all things to all people? by krog · · Score: 2, Troll

    Linux is a great server OS. It's even a great desktop OS, if you know what you're doing. But professional audio?

    It's nice to dream, but for now and for the forseeable future, the software just isn't there. There's barely enough professional audio software for Windows... Linux just doesn't compete.

    Until the software's written, there's no point in making a distro to pretend that it is.

    Besides, about 98% of professional audio tweaks use Macs. The other 2% use Amiga. :)
