I have been in the task of finding all distributions of GNU / Linux that are designed for the art work, in the past I have spoken of OpenArtist (based on Ubuntu 8:10 and more than 1000 programs for image management, video programming, audio, web and even live video and audio - DJ and VJ -)
This week I downloaded and have been testing with my students ArtistX, a distro based on Ubuntu 9:10. and I thought OpenArtist much more stable and easier to handle. ArtistX is pre-installed more or less virtual 2500 programs for mind to do everything you can do about GNU / Linux using free software.
of the highlights of what comes pre-installed is: Gimp, Inkscape, PIN2, Krita, Synfig, Rawstudio, Skencil, Hugin, Blender, Wings3D, KPovModeler Povray 3.6, k3d, Cinelerra, OpenShot, Kino, openmovieeditor, Kdenlive, pitivi , Avidemux, DeVeDe, Mplayer, Helix Player, Videolan, Xine, Kaffeine, Kmplayer, PD and externals, Rosegarden, Ardour, TerminatorX, Cecilia / Csound, Gnusound, Mixxx, OpenOficce and so forth .... (All audio, video, VJ and DJ, bitmaps, vector images, video games, 3D, 2D animation ....)
works with the KDE graphical environment, which I found very interesting my students who were only familiar with Gnome. I liked to meet the company that produces ArtistX is the idea that their distribution can be used professionally (not true openartist) including the website offer customized versions massive facilities as a business platform, also have a personal training program that can lead to any institution. (USA only)
One thing that many users may find difficult is that many of the tools are not translated into English, also has support for Genius tablets only for Wacom. Definitely
this distribution seems better than OpenArtist, especially for its stability.
