ArtistX Release?
What do you guys thinks of ArtistX, a Debian release, and is it based on Etch or Lenny or an earlier distro?

It ships with kernel 2.6.22 and KDE 3.5.7 and therefor I think it is a Lenny release of 2-3 months old.

If it is a Lenny release, is it no longer testing, they made it a stable release?
Might it not be able to find a driver for a late March 08 HD? Do you think it will accept and smoothly run Debian science and business packages? |
Hard drives don't require special drivers.. Hard drive controllers however may...
Are you having trouble an accessing a hard drive you installed recently ? |
Yeh, a hard drive which had defects, I returned it. The new one hopefully will do well, one year warranty.
http://www.westerndigital.com/en/pro...32&language=en Do you think, ArtistX will run non art applications well? Also that other old hard drive, a Maxtor, was detected at first and said to be not big enough. 40 GB. Then later trying again to install Debian 4.0, it could not find a driver for the hard disk. It gave me a big list, I could not find one which worked, and installation stopped there. My old computer on which I will try Debian, is a Pentium 2, with 512 Mb RAM. 32 bit. I put in a sound card. |

Can you boot your puter in a Live distro like Knoppix and are you able to access/partition your HDD from there? jlinkels |
