Also, there are some programs that work with GIMP that will help you layout DVD menus, subtitles, etc. Kino website: http://kino.schirmacher.de/ Dag Wieers has Kino built for Fedora Core available via YUM and APT: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/kino/ Article on DVD Authoring under Linux: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6953 > 4) My wife has two different digital cameras, a Kodak cheapy and a 1/2 > decent Olympus.

And not as elegant if the camera has a nice docking station. There are easily dozens of posts on the topic in this list's archives. > 5) The only game I play is Neverwinter Nights.

The hard part is finding a stable video card with good 3D performance. My favorite video card was a dual-head Radeon 7500 with TV output. I curse myself daily for selling it. I currently have a Nvidia GeForce2 MX400 based card. The Nvidia frequently makes me want to put my fist through things. It does work great when it works, though. -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
