Ubuntu studio - Linux for multimedia creation
Ubuntu Studio, scheduled for release this spring, is a version of Ubuntu Linux dedicated to multimedia creation -- graphics, video and audio editing and so forth. I've been using Ubuntu full time since October I know, I'm really lagging in my promise to document my switch, but it's coming) and I'm really, really impress with it. My new Thinkpad is rock-solid, fast as hell, and does almost everything I want it to do (I can't get iPod synch working, but I have some expert assistance in that regard). The most amazing thing is that my OS and all the incredible programs I use every day are totally free -- and when I submit bug-reports or feature requests for my favorite apps, they get fixed!

I'm pretty excited at the idea of an Ubuntu optimized for multimedia creation -- the regular Ubuntu is so solid and well-thought-out, so I have a lot of hopes for Ubuntu Studio. Link (via /.)
