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. I'm wondering if there is anyone on the list who might be willing to help advise me on what purchases would be best. I know there is a lot of tweaking that may be needed to get a system to work. My next computer has to be a laptop (I've got a teaching job) and it will have to be dual-boot windows. My concerns right now are: AMD (Turon TL-60) vs Intel chips And Nvidia vs ATI graphics. My budget is capped at $600, here are three models I am looking at: http://shop3.outpost.com/product/5585790 (Toshiba) http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=3D8776149&type=3Dproduct&id= =3D1204332255236 (HP) http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/101500/HP-Pavilion-dv6810us-Widescr= een-Notebook-Computer/ Any suggestions would be welcome. I just don't want to spend the money o= n a laptop and have it be incompatible. I also don't want to hog space on this mailing list, so feel free to respond off list or perhaps we could carry this over on #cinelerra or perhaps if there are any locals to the Sacramento area (librt?)
