Dreamstudio 12.04.3 Review : Rock solid and Decent MULTImedia desktop studio for all .

DreamStudio is an Ubuntu-based distribution containing tools to create stunning graphics, captivating videos, inspiring music, and professional websites .Logo of Dream studio looks like as shown below  ,






Dream studio is a complete multimedia and photo production suite . Now already you have heard of  some studio like ubuntu studio based on xfce , kxstudio based on kde , Tango studio based on gnome  etc but whats the difference , yes Dream studio is based on ubuntu unity interface  which is very different what you have not used on other linux platforms . Now ubuntu unity interface is very beautiful , seemingly fast and doesn't clutter your interface  while working thats the beauty of unity but only cons is that it more resource consuming than other desktop interface.

Now Dream studio is extremely portable can be installed on hard drive or usb device so it can be in your pockets anyplace anywhere. Dream studio contains all the apps containing creating music editing videos and photos,with astonishing graphics , captivating video stuff and stuff required to create professional websites etc .Dream Studio is maintained by musician and artist Dick Macinnis,and has  easier for creative artists to set up stuff for studio without any need for professional tutorial .

RED FLAG INWISE 8.0 REVIEW : International appeal lacking seems like only for Chinese user base .


Red Flag Linux (Chinese: 红旗Linux) is a Chinese Linux distribution developed by Red Flag Software. The distribution logo is Tux carrying a prominent red flag. Red Flag Software Co., Ltd. (Red Flag Software) is focused on developing and marketing Linux-based operating systems and application software on multiple platforms for the constantly growing base of Chinese technology users and their goal is "Creating Incentives for Networking Life."




 As Chinese business was growing, and the World Trade Organization began cracking down on widespread copyright infringements, there was a need for a localized version of a free operating system.Hence, Red Flag was born out of cooperation between the Software Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and NewMargin Venture Capital, a venture arm of the Chinese government.


 I am somewhat skeptical about installing chinese software on my systems ? Do they have keyloggers? or somewhat of other malware hidden in their os ? They don’t appear to have publish  source code and its  itself  a violation of the copyright  license that the code is published under GNU GPL .But let not shy away from that testing this software .so I  visited their red flag site but not able to download the iso at all as they dont have good chinese mirrors for International users  .so after searching got an iso which was hosted at some site and downloaded and created a live usb using dd .  And booted my laptop with live usb . First with a surprise at graphical boot screen some star twinkling and Red flag logo can be seen and booted in a live mode and then it ask me for a language to choose english or chinese and continue then booted with a graphical kde environment of Red Flag os .
