AGNULA [1] ist an acronym for \”A GNU/Linux Audio distribution\” a project funded by the European Commission. AGNULA\’s main task will be the development of two reference distributions for the GNU/Linux operating system completely based on Free Software (i.e. under a FSF approved Free Software license) and completely devoted to professional and consumer audio applications and multimedia development. One distribution will be Debian-based (DeMuDi) and the other will be Red Hat-based (ReHMuDi). Both will be available on the network for download and on CD. The project started on the 1st April 2002 and will last for two years.
This is a strong statement by the European Commission to provide an audio system based on Free Software in an emerging audio consumer market.
