Ok, you need some "unofficial" repository, like "marrilat" or "debian unofficial" IIRC.
At the moment things seem to be a bit complicated with etch. (I am using "64Studio" and "DeMuDi", both based on debian testing) Currently, we can't install the simplest things as there are some required libs (notably form kde) still not in testing. So at the moment, you either have to fiddle with Apt-Pins and use unstable or need to be patient. > Is it stable enough to use it without frustration? stability has been largely improved in last time. Im using it heavily and generally didn't entcounter any serious problems. Of course, cinelerra has the habbit of simply crashing when you do something obvious silly, it never bothers the poor haunted power user with spurious mesage boxes or step-by-step-recovery wizards :-) But there is a reliable auto backup feature (importand: the really first thing you need to do after restart after a crash ist "load backup" form file menu) With respect to frustration I can't promise you anything. As with most any pro software, you probably get lots of frustrating experiences if you think a "normal" application should behave as if it was microsoft word. You should really read the manual completely and try to understand what's written there.
