Hi, my idea is there's no point to choose a distro just becasue of softwares it comes with. I mean, it takes very few seconds type something like "apt-get install..." "yum install ..." "pacman -S ...." and so on.. Don't take me bad, if you can find a distro which comes with every and only things you like is perfect, but during my short experience I start loving distro without things and light instead. You save bytes, loading time etc. I think the real bet is finding a distro which is totally compliant in terms of hardware, driver, kernel, more than software applications... Anyway give us a feedback about ArtistX, especially how much it differs from Ubuntu, which is the distro from it is spinned off.
