Thanks for the advice William. Will try to track down Live CD versions.
As for going it alone on partitioning.......
Cheers
Bill

Hi Bill,
For editing video there is Kino (http://www.kinodv.org/) and
Cinelerra (http://cvs.cinelerra.org/about.php). For still image work
(ie Photoshoppy stuff) there is GIMP (http://www.gimp.org) and a
variant of GIMP called Cinepaint that is specifically geared towards
moving image work (http://www.cinepaint.org/).
It should be noted that while these are excellent apps, their workflow
is different from Premier and Photoshop. GIMPshop tries to redress
that by putting Photoshop-style menus and toolbars onto The GIMP to
try and help Photoshop users move across. I don't think there's
anything similar for Premier.
I'd definitely try these apps (GIMP and Kino / Cinelerra) on a Live CD
if possible to make sure you feel you can use them in place of the
Adobe apps. If you can, great, get rid of that Windows box :) If you
can't, look into dual-booting - Ubuntu makes this process pretty
painless now, even for Win2K / XP Pro users with NTFS partitions.
