No. This distribution is designed to help creative people work with multimedia, while staying within the Open Source model. The Debian-based distribution is perfect for Linuxers who desire power (64-bit) and multimedia applications.

According to the FAQs:
<blockquote><em>64 Studio is a collection of software for digital content creation on x86_64 hardware (that's AMD's 64-bit CPUs and Intel's EM64T chips). It's based on the pure 64 port of Debian GNU/Linux, but with a specialised package selection and lots of other customisations. It will be marketed to hardware OEMs in the creative workstation and laptop markets as an alternative to the 64-bit version of Windows Vista, or OS X Leopard on Apple hardware. You can browse the current <a href="http://trac.64studio.com/64studio/browser/64studio/trunk/tasksel-data/64studio-tasks.desc">default package list</a>. </em></blockquote>
