UbuntuStudio

[Irishwhistle]

I just ran into a really neat looking Linux distro called UbuntuStudio. Has anyone here ever tried it? What do you think of it? Thanks!

Never tried it, but I will have to... It seems to have some video editors included

Yeah, PiTiVi looks pretty good.

You can install the packages onto the standard Ubuntu.

sudo su -c 'echo deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio feisty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
wget -q http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

Then just pick the packages you want:

* ardour - Digital audio workstation (graphical gtk2 interface) (This is Ardour 2)
* ardour-i686 - Digital audio workstation (graphical gtk2 interface) [i686] (This is Ardour 2)
* ubuntustudio-desktop - Makes up our base desktop install.
* ubuntustudio-audio - Ubuntu Studio audio package
* ubuntustudio-audio-plugins - Ubuntu Studio audio plugins package
* ubuntustudio-graphics - Ubuntu Studio graphics package
* ubuntustudio-video - Ubuntu Studio video package
* ubuntustudio-artwork - UbuntuStudio themes and artwork
* ubuntustudio-gdm-theme - Ubuntu Studio GDM theme
* ubuntustudio-icon-theme - UbuntuStudio Icon theme
* ubuntustudio-look - Ubuntustudio look (metapackage)
* ubuntustudio-session-splashes - Ubuntu Studio Session splashes
* ubuntustudio-sounds - Ubuntu Studio's GNOME audio theme
* ubuntustudio-screensaver - Ubuntu Studio's floating logo screensaver
* ubuntustudio-theme - Ubuntu Studio look - GTK and Metacity theme
* ubuntustudio-wallpapers - Ubuntu Studio - Wallpapers
* usplash-theme-ubuntustudio - Usplash theme for Ubuntustudio
* wired - Audio creation free software for Linux


Theme is quite nice if you are into black, artwork is very nice. Don't need the graphics, audio or video packages so never bothered to try those.

It would end up being a huge file.
