So after lurking here for a while, I've decided to take the plunge and go linux. With the status of Ubuntu 8.04, I'd like to try and set up a Cinelerra (and eventually Lumiera) edit system. I have an aging XP Avid system at home and a FCP system at work. The trouble I that I don't have a clue about linux.

  Then I suggest you try it out with a Linux live CD (boot and run
straight from a CD, without installing) before committing yourself.
It may make you aware of specific problems that would be showstoppers
for you.

 I might add that I did bring a live CD when I was about to purchase
my previous laptop.  A few months later I brought that laptop to the
photo/video store before I purchased my HDV camera.  I wanted to
verify that I could grab HDV video on Linux.

 I'll take testing before faith, any day.
