Mark,
Also I have recently installed just for fun Ubuntu 12.04 on my old PC,
replacing Vista which had crashed completely, as well as Win XP which is

I ran across one called AV Linux that is aimed at multimedia production.
I don't know how well suited it would be for still photography.

is an Athlong 64 X2 4200+ and it is too old for Win 8.1 - lacks some
