Fire up your creativity with the latest Dream Studio release!

Written by Bill Toulas on . Posted in Linux distributions

Rock musician and software developer Dick MacInnis, announced a few days ago the availability of the new Dream Studio release which is based on Ubuntu 12.04.

Dream Studio is a GNU/Linux multimedia distribution, aiming to offer tools for graphic designers, photographers, music composers and video editors. The main reason to upgrade is that the latest release is based on an LTS version of Ubuntu, thus it is a lot more stable and for the specialized uses that such distributions have, stability is a serious matter. Another important reason to upgrade would be that all applications and tools are at their latest version.

Lets take a look at the available tools that Dream Studio offers out of the box.

Besides all that, there are of course more application that cover the daily desktop need like  Firefox, LibreOffice, Thunderbird and Tomboy. The only thing I have to notice before suggesting the download of this great distribution is that some users reported that while the system works perfectly in live mode, it doesn’t work at all after the installation. Dick McInnis is already working on that, and I suppose there will be a bugfix minor version available soon.

    I want to download it so badly but I am new to linux and i just started getting the hang of Ubuntu. I know its based off Ubuntu but I dont Know

    • Bill_Toulas

      What is the worst thing that can happen?

      • TheChangeup

         Ur right. I think i will try it

  • comparison

    Which one is better this or ubuntu studio? or are they the same?

    • Bill_Toulas

      No, they are not the same. Besides the different selection of pre-installed software you’ll find in those two, there are also some usability differences. I personally find Dream Studio easier to install and use compared to Ubuntu Studio

      • comparison

         Thanks for the explaination

  • anechoic

    Everytime I see some special multimedia distros, there is a question: Is it really better than simple ubuntu and my favorites programs? Why should i use it?

it can be used to talk or chat through the internet,

it is using strong encryption.

but for example TOR is using some obfuscation because some countrys try to block all outgoing connections which can not be scanned with DPI

And the TOR Project is facing an arms race in obfuscation and encryption detection.

please have a look at this link. it is a FAQ, QuickTip, HowTo, etc etc etc …

If you want to make friends, please use the Chatservers.
#1 https://www.f2f-fr.net/w2c/en/
#2 http://retrosharechatserver.no-ip.org/w2c/en/

if you enter your certificate, the chatserver adds you as his friend and shows his certificate too add him to your friends.

After the connection to the chatservers is established, you can join a few chatrooms where the chatserver is lurking.

in this rooms are other people too help you and make first friends and get into the network.

add friends only with wisdom. if you friend some policeman, it will be problematic like in real life.

best is to add only people you trust in real life or trust from other communitys too. and not to add random unkown strangers.

If you have questions, ask them in the chatlobbys, there is always someone to answer them.

please read http://redd.it/18vsq5
