The GPT issue has been reported by a few folks on the forum (you may recognize one of them): http://www.remastersys.com/forums/index ... pic=3185.0

Regarding Jessie... yep it looks like the best Debian so far for multimedia content, add the KX Repos and kaboom something amazing has happened! as you know AV Linux is simply one small choice of many..

Is there a technical issue or concern forcing you to stick your system to Debian Oldstable, because the way i see it, at this point its must have cost you a far greater effort to maintain a Squeeze system it this point in time instead of making a time adequate distribution. i Myself and guessing a significant part on the community will offer help and assistance keepind an up-tp-date out-of-the-box and reliable multimedia distribution.
BTW the new iso is still down!

Great theme!

hey at least I got a pc (screen) monitor and a midi keyboard from it, so I can't complain.
plus I also got to know the code base a bit from which I'm basing my midi sequencer on...

Then I'll take back my words

I have a known, working, stable base with numerous tweaks and improvements in the base distribution itself, my kernel and DE are far newer than Debian Stable and I have some items like SLiM and Nautilus 2.30 that have yet to be improved upon and work perfectly and efficiently but are now obsolete or deprecated. Although I have a great working relationship with the Remastersys developer he has discontinued Remastersys which has enabled a non-developer like myself to create and share AV Linux. But most of all to be honest and I've been very clear about this in the past, with KX Debian repos available for all current Ubuntu and Debian releases in both 64bit and 32bit architectures (including Debian testing) AV Linux is not a future need... which is sincerely great and truly all credit for that goes to falkTX! I'm not in this for myself and I can plainly see when something better has come along... and KX Repos+KX ISO's have arrived!

AV Linux filled a legitimate need for a few years, AV Linux can still fill a need in the now on it's current base and with the high quality and production readiness of the applications this time around it will enable people to 'Install and Create' on decent spec legacy (and reasonably new) hardware for quite some time. Beyond that what do you want me to do? Take a Debian testing ISO slap in the KX repos and stick my own wallpaper on it? NOT!!

My bad it was an Indiegogo campaign... I guess the MOD had planted kickstarter in my brain, sorry for the confusion..

Still hope to see AV Linux active for the next couple of years.

How i wished to slap you through the desktop for those words. You can't imagine.
Don't you realize that AVLinux became a trademark in the Linuxaudio world. And the fact that the latest release have over 10000 downloads from Softpedia and it is on 13th position on Distrowatch this week kinda' proves that.
So you don't want to collaborate with falkTX for a Debian distro, fine. Consider Arch Linux, (maybe Suse or Fedora,) i don't know. Its not right neither for Users nor for Developers to have only one guy who is bringing the Linuxaudio landscape to the masses. Enough with this quitter behavior Diehard.

@thetotalchaos

To clarify:

I didn't really say I'm 'quitting' I pointed out the reality that although AV Linux is currently useful and has very thankfully found a niche, the way the Linux Audio landscape has improved and changed makes continuing to do things the same way unnecessary, is someone a quitter because their services are no longer required in the same way!?

There is no lack of collaboration with falkTX, it's quite obvious I respect his work and admire his talents, one of the highlights of this past year was for me to meet him in person. I have been continuing the work I had started before the community came to know falkTX, at every opportunity we have worked together and I have integrated his great applications into my existing development base with his generous help. Currently my particular 'skills' are not what is needed by falkTX, of course I am a supporter of KXStudio in other ways but he desperately needs a full team and proper infrastructure to sustainably do what he is doing...

Being determined (or a Diehard) is a good thing, working hard at what you love is a good thing, knowing your place in the scheme of things and being realistic, also good..

For NOW I'm 110% on the job with AV Linux and it's users, in the future I will be in the Linux Audio ecosystem somewhere...
