I certainly do, and I'm afraid they have, sadly.

I would probably echo Will (Abrolag) and suggest moving to a whole new
distribution, perhaps the 64studio beta as he suggests (it also comes
in a bootable-CD format, although I haven't tested it myself).

However strongly I felt that STG was the most pleasing and usable
design around, there are by now quite a few technical obstacles to
keeping an old STG distribution up to date with newer audio packages.
That is one reason we failed to keep the distribution going -- so much
effort needed to be put into managing the general Linux distribution
parts of the system that there was too little left for the actual
music software.  Similar things seem to happen to many specialised
distros, however closely they try to track a general-purpose base
distribution.
