I'm a video editor with a full fledged production studio and hope to be able to use Linux as my main workstation in the next two years, before the full transition to HD becomes mandatory/necessary. Please post any successes you have. I can't offer any suggestions. I currently have Kino, Cinelerra, and Jahshaka running on my FC4 boxes, but was never able to get kdenlive to run. But, I'm not on a 64 box... I am thoroughly tired of the endless amounts of money we have to spend on "W" software, so I watch these projects with interest. -- Claude Jones Bluemont, VA, USA
