Hi Nicola!
Why not using Hardy? It's a LTS release and it is very stable, and it is not prehistoric.
My opinion is based on my experience. I do workshops on creative works with Free Software and I tested different labs with different Ubuntus. In the past two years video editing (and graphics) applications had such a fast development that Hardy is indeed already too old (e.g. you can't have the latest Kdenlive). I kept having so many issues (e.g. freezing interfaces, blank screens, old or missing applications...) that I promised myself not to work or teach on Hardy anymore.
Note also that Hardy will be supported just for the next 3 months and the new LTS release is just a mouse click away.
That's why I don't recommend Hardy to people looking for a good distro for video-editing.
Ciao! Raffaella _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
