gnuArtist For Linux

gnuArtist is an open source and free distribution of Linux derived from the Xfce edition of the Ubuntu Linux operating system and designed from the ground up to be used by artists for digital content creation.

The gnuArtist distribution is freely distributed as a Live DVD ISO image that contains software packages optimized only for the 32-bit (i386) hardware platform. The user will be able to use it on computers supporting either 32-bit or 64-bit architectures.

When booting the ISO image from the BIOS of a computer, using either a DVD disc or a USB thumb drive, the user can start the live system with the default kernel, in safe graphics mode, in textonly mode or without boot splash and debug mode.

You can start the installer directly and permanently install the operating system on a local drive, boot an existing OS from the first disk detected by the BIOS, as well as to perform a system memory (RAM) diagnostic test.

gnuArtist’s graphical session is built around the GNOME Classic desktop environment. It uses a top panel for quick access the the main menu and various places on the filesystem, as well as bottom dock (application launcher).

Being designed from the ground up to be used by artists for digital content creation, the gnuArtist distribution comes pre-loaded with a wide range of multimedia apps, such as the Audacity audio editor, Blender 3D modeling software, OpenShot video editor and MyPaint digital painting software.

The Brasero CD/DVD burning software, 2ManDVD DVD-Video authoring software, Opera web browser, GIMP image editor, Geany integrated development environment, Remastersys disk imaging, Ubuntu Tweak system tweaking, Reconstructor ISO remastering tool and VLC Media Player are also included.
