tells me i cant install virtualbox on studioubuntu because o 64bit. …??? but, but… i have a 64 bit architecture, i have the correct 64.deb installer file, studio ubuntu is clearly installed on my 64bit machine… so why cant i install this?

other than this first issue to crop up,

it's top of my list of fave operating systems at the moment, and i have tried dozens and dozens.

other os to get a nod and a wink:
Sabayon (full), SuSE, Slax.

tried numerous other distros aimed at artists and musicians (being both), such as;
Dyne:bolic, musix, artistx, grafpup, studio64, and more.

all very nice in their own rights for their own reasons, though none of them seem as reliable or as competently put together as studio ubuntu (though i may change my mind about that if i cant get virtualbox and other 64bit software installed, even just 32bit versions would keep me happy).

… was it musix, in the screenshots… has about a dozen rosegardens to start up from the menu… hmm, gotta b something handy about that right! mmm.

yes, I agree, Bmud. jahshaka is not mature enought. But I look at some piviti screens. Its seem very simple video editor. Ele tem track motion que o premiere não tem. Além de ser bem mais leve

Jason, you need to burn the ISO to a cd then boot via the CD and follow instructions.
Here's a great ISO burner: http://www.imgburn.com
Of course this will wipe out your hard drive.

You could also create a VM. I use VMware workstation, but there are other free ones.

WARNING: UBUNTU STUDIO IS NOT 64-BIT!!
Don't be like me, spend a lot of time downloading it, only to find that you can't install it on your machine…

…I'm going to go cry now. :(

I hope someone will run a comperative benchmarking between Ubuntu and Ubuntu studio with same blender version.

If there is a noticable difference (and based on description of the project there should be) I'll definately consider downloading it.

The artwork (desktop/window decoration) is very nice, dark and professional.

For those asking, I believe Ubuntu Studio is optomized primarily for audio work, meaning a Realtime-Preemption enabled kernel with Ingo Molnar's patches for those of us that need low latency, as well as the audio programs seen there.

Personally I run a Gentoo setup for my workstation that is customized similarly, though I use e17 for my WM, but I may try this out and see how it goes, doubt I will drop e17 though, maybe I will install it on top of the distro.

@Henrique: In my own opinion.. I don't think Jahshaka is mature enough yet. Don't get me wrong though – I like where it's headed – but it could use some more work. It's very elusive as to what its intended use is.
