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. 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:

Any suggestions would be welcome. I just don't want to spend the money on
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?)
Thanks,
