ArtistX 0.8

ArtistX is a live DVD which turns a computer into a full multimedia production studio. It is based on Debian GNU/Linux and contains nearly all the available free audio, 2D and 3D graphics, and video software for the GNU/Linux computing platform. ArtistX uses Debian Live to boot directly from the CD into a customized Debian environment without touching your hard drive.

Software that was not packaged for Debian or not in the official archive (especially for video and 3D production) is also included.

On the DVD you'll find about 2500 multimedia applications, all of which are derived from media repositories whose packages can be freely used by students, teaching staff, and digital multimedia developers.
