Introduction To Ubuntu Studio

Ubuntu Studio is an officially recognized flavor of Ubuntu. Like Ubuntu, it is a free operating system based on free and open source software (FLOSS) shipping with the the latest and most up to date multimedia software in the GNU/Linux world.

This is the Community driven Ubuntu Studio Documentation page. Anyone is allowed to edit or add to this page, though this page and many others is created by Ubuntu Studio developers. If for instance you would like to create a "howto" page, sign in, and add a link for it here. Help on editing can be found here.

Try Before Installing

Before installing, you might like to try out Ubuntu Studio by booting from a live image. This means you can boot from a DVD, or a usb stick as if you were booting from hard disk, and access all the default Ubuntu Studio applications without installing anything. Instructions for how to do that are included in the installation instructions below.
