Of course, you don't have old hardware to deal with.
Your right, I've a 2 year old laptop, with PAE. (I think the Celeron were the last chip to not have PAE..)
Thanks for bringing ArtistX to my attention, I'd only tried 0.7 a couple of years back, and it was already
outdated then! But there's a new release, (0.8 :-0 ) which is based on Ubuntu 10 (unlucky there...).
It seems pretty promising, Ill download it over the next days, and hopefully its all good!
KXStudio is another intresting (Buntu based) distro... Its shipping with LADISH, JACK2, ArdourVST, QTracktorVST etc
Really up to date, there's a PPA for Ardour3, Mixxx 1.8, etc
KX does focus on "visual appeal" as well as functionality. Ie: Its probably not *the* fastest system to boot / login.
But it sure looks a lot more slick than my bare bones LXDE ;-)
