No idea, as I've only 'toyed' with it to see what it was about. However,
my guess would be that it probably was just 7.10 in general as 'Studio'
is basically packaging of various audio, video etc files ontop of
standard Gnome (I think - I'll check further).

What I can do this weekend is try the Gnome to Studio addition on a
hardy test machine to see if it blows up or just slides right in. That
way you can get a 'live' opinion before you decide to try it on your
machine. :-)

It does make sense... but it's pretty much over my head :-)
