I'm sure it's fascinating, Sam.  It's a shame we don't have a few Linux buddies for you on here.   :bawl:

I'm very interested in seeing the latest Ubuntu developments even though I don't use it, so thank you Sam for a very nicely written and informative article.

I wasn't aware of how many video editing programmes are now available in Open Source.  That's very encouraging, especially with the arrival of MythTV.
