Multimedia Chronicles
Linux distros for videomakers? Yes, please.

So it’s been a couple of years for me in the magical world of Windows 7. Also, I’ve been working on a Mac, so (apart from my Android cell phone) I’ve not been using Linux very much.

I started checking distrowatch to check what’s up with Linuxland and I discovered that besides Ubuntu Studio (which apparently failed to deliver in its latest version), there’s two recent Linux distros amied to the multimedia producers and videomakers: Dream Studio and AVLinux.

They seem to be able to run from a pen drive, so you can bet I’ll be trying both of them in the next days. Interesting fact: they’re both made in Canada =)

If EditShare get its act together, we may add Lightworks for Linux to one of these distros and have a VERY powerful Linux workstation for digital content creation… for free and open source!
