ArtistX

Postby dedanna1029 » 04 Jul 2011, 06:01

I've got ADHD and ArtistX! Oh, the fun I will have! :D

ArtistX is a free live GNU/Linux DVD which turns a common computer into a full multimedia production studio.
It is based on Ubuntu GNU/Linux and contains nearly all the available free audio, 2D and 3D graphics, and video software for the GNU/Linux computing platform. It doesn't need to be installed, and boots directly into a running system without touching hard drives. The files produced with ArtistX can be easily stored on USB devices or CD/DVD medium while it is running. If you want to install it please take a look to our documentation to the ArtistX Installation Manual (Live DVD section).

After many years of continous development and nine versions, the ArtistX 1.0 Multimedia Studio on a DVD is finally here.
It's an Ubuntu 10.04 based live DVD that turns a common computer into a full multimedia production studio: "ArtistX 1.0 is created with the Remastersys software for live DVDs and includes the 2.6.32 Linux kernel, GNOME 2.30 and KDE 4.5, Compiz Fusion and about 2500 free multimedia software packages, nearly everything that exists for the GNU/Linux operating system organized in the Gnome menu. Main features: based on Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" with all updates (from April 2010), Compiz for 3D desktop effects; most of GNU/Linux multimedia packages and the very easy Ubiquity installer.

Yes, based on Ubuntu. Right now, do I care?

Tough question. Do we get alternatives? :lol:
Old kernel thus slower, is just a bonus I guess. And nice pictures and no bothersome CLI. You can't go wrong there :-D
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.

Well, the "older kernel" part I'm sure gets changed with updates. It's not like MDV & Fedora (among others) are really "up to date" on the thing themselves.

The point is, what I couldn't do with a distro like this. Creativity amundo. I ran it years ago, but then they dropped Gnome, so I dropped them.
It's back now, so no reason not to run it any more (2.3.0 Gnome, no less, not that 3 crap; I'm sure I can prevent that from updating, in particular if I just run it live, but then I wouldn't be able to update the kernel if I did that).
