Novell Linux, Mac, PC

No problem. Glad I could help :).

yes, I remember that I installed the programs using ubuntu software center.

I'll give another try and do some visits to the ubuntu forum

thanks pal!

Having used Kino and Quanta relatively little, I can't help you too much there. I'd suggest asking at Ubuntu's forums (while providing the error) if you installed either of them through the repositories.

one of the issues were problems to capture video with kino via firewire and lots of errors with a web-editing software (that Im not sure if it was quanta plus) the thing just keept shuting down itself after doing something. I liked all the rest, nice speed procesing of information and an intuitive location of objects

Usually it would be Ubuntu that I recommend to newcomers as it tends to be the easiest to setup and has a large community available for support (via forums). Are there specific things you are looking for (e.g. one to include "bleeding-edge" software, better GNOME/KDE support, etc.)? If you do a lot of multimedia editing and want to give Ubuntu another chance, you can also tryout Ubuntu Studio which features a Linux kernel optimized for media editing.

What issues did you encounter with Ubuntu?

thanks LordDestros and starsiegeplayer

I will give linux another try, I liked linux by the design and reliability, but I've got frustrated when I dindt manage to put the whole thing working.

which distro would you recommend me? I've been trying linux mint and ubuntu

Aside from what starsiegeplayer suggested, there is also Cinelerra for video editing and Blue Fish, Quanta, etc. for web development. Quite a few can be found on Wikipedia.

Examples of very high end movie development applications (which relampago21 refereed to), there would be Autodesk's IFFS.

Kino for video editing.

Webdesign? Try Seamonkey Composer?

Hi

the applications that I need more are:

-video editing software (with firewire capture)

-a webdesign program like dreamweaver or frontpage

the distros that I tried the most were: ubuntu, kubuntu and linux mint


Thanks in advance!

Well what type of applications are you looking for?
