There will probably be quite a few updates to packages in the next few days as I move them from the testing repositories to main, but mostly what I'll be working on now is the KDE and XFCE versions of Dream Studio. Stay tuned...

I've been working hard to make Dream Studio 12.04 the best release yet; not only because it will be the first release in the new schedule (once every two years), but also because I have many derivatives, products, and other goodies in store that will be directly related to this major release.

Dream Studio 11.10 Status Update

Submitted by Dick MacInnis on Sat, 01/14/2012 - 11:13

For those users who may have been wondering what (if anything) is going on as far as development, here is my update:
Dream Studio 11.10 is very close to being done. Currently all the packages are ready, so it's just a matter of building the installation DVD, testing it, and uploading to our servers. Expect this release to be ready by Jan. 20 2012.

Feature Requests

Dream Studio 11.04 made its debut late last week, and has been hugely successful so far. When I posted the installation DVD, Dream Studio's total downloads to date (since Oct. 2010, when Dream Studio 10.04 - its first version - was released) were approaching 5000. Since Distrowatch posted our Dream Studio press release to their front page, downloads have skyrocketed, and downloads of just this latest version are approaching the 7000 mark, all in less than a week!

Changes Abound

While Dream Studio continues to support our 10.04 and 10.10 releases, many of you may be wondering what's happening in regards to our next release, based on Ubuntu 10.04. There are major changes on the way, so let me walk you through them.

Dream Studio to Include KXStudio Team Repositories

Submitted by Dick MacInnis on Tue, 02/15/2011 - 22:46

FalkTX's excellent KXStudio (a KDE based multimedia distribution based on Ubuntu) has recently opened a new set of PPAs for the KXStudio Team. They're chock full of new and up-to-date software, and will be included by default in the upcoming Dream Studio 11.04. This move will benefit the users of both distributions, as software currently available only on Dream Studio will be added to the KXStudio Team PPA's, making it available to KXStudio, while Dream Studio will gain the addition of several packages not currently available by default.
