To celebrate the release of Ubuntu 9.10, I also to give a new updated version of Ubuntu Tweak 0.4.9.2 with a lot of refresh applications and sources for Ubuntu 9.10 only.

OpenShot makes me excited to bail on my crashy Mac PowerBook and pick up an Ubuntu laptop. Now if only I could settle on a decent notebook for video editing...
- Joel Zehring
Joel: try something with multiple cores, maybe 64bit with lots of memory. a decent video card chip helps too, what sort of audio or video input and output is important?
- Mike Chelen
I've heard mixed reviews for 64-bit Ubuntu. Is it suitable for a Linux noob like me? Hopefully I'm not too spoiled by OS X. Input: DV camera via firewire. Output: h.264 files and the occasional video DVD. I've been looking at refurbished Dell Studio notebooks.
- Joel Zehring
it's worthwhile to run 64bit if the rig has more than 4gb of memory. most apps can run okay, but it helps to check and see how easy or difficult they are. for drivers, look at the model number, or the chipsets for important pieces like firewire or video cards
- Mike Chelen
Joel: dell studio 15 and studio xps 13 look good, 3d accel is important mainly for live video or playback, for non-linear editing it might not really matter. im unsure if openshot does both? probably cpu and memory will be most important for encoding
- Mike Chelen

- Joel Zehring

Joel: ATI will likely have better driver support in Ubuntu. also id go with AMD but idk really, so check CPU benchmarks. maybe pickup more memory if any supports more than 4gb, or if you get a unit that comes with less. im drooling :)

testbeta: for old nvidia chipsets, try envyng to select different driver versions http://packages.ubuntu.com/search...

thanks again

Mike: I've heard that AMD is second fiddle to Intel at this point. I'll definitely look for a dedicated ATI card. I'm no fan of integrated graphics.
- Joel Zehring
Joel: that is possible, there are so many different cpu chipsets, they can be difficult to keep track of. integrated graphics are getting better, however it seems nvidia and ati still have better support in linux

Joel Zehring, Oğuz Serdar, Nispell and Johni Fisher liked this
"Real Madrid have announced a net debt of £296m, alongside a record annual budget of £381m for the new season. The club's annual figures include £226m spent on four players: Xabi Alonso, Kaka, Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. Real's debt last year was around £100m. Their budget is some £20m greater than that of arch-rivals Barcelona, whose £361m budget is also a club record. The announcement comes after Uefa approved plans to force clubs to spend only what they can earn in revenue."

Stories like this annoy me. The people who own and run these clubs are adults, why should it be up to UEFA to decide how much they can spend? I have the same problem with American sports, where a team that is willing to spend more is derided for doing what it takes to win. Any company that wants to be dominant has to go out and get the best available people in the industry, which...

Starting to listen to this now. Hoping you are right, Rob.
- beersage
I hope so to. But regardless, I think that it was in reality necessary for FriendFeed to sell to really put the technology in front of a sufficient number of eyeballs. Facebook is probably the best acquirer that FriendFeed could have. (I would have not felt the same had FF been acquired by Google)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
The thing with Friendfeed though is how I can share things outside of a 'wall.' I prominently feature the FF widget on my site. I'm just concerned of losing that capability as I was tinkering with delivering a new site w/ content primarily running through my Friendfeed account. I am to this day unable to do much outside of the wall. I am unable to subscribe to Fan Page updates in Google reader for instance. That is what concerns me about FB acquiring FF given my goals.

"Kim Cascone earned his bread from digital soundtracks, up to quite recently with Apple hardware and Mac OS X. For cost and performance reasons he made the switch to Ubuntu and is surprised at how good the audio processing is on reasonable priced hardware. Now Peter Kirn has captured Cascone's conversion story on createdigitalmusic.com. Interesting about the article is not only the facts of Cascone's conversion, but the comments accompanying it that contain numerous tips and information on sound processing under Linux. For example, Cascone recommends dropping all the alternative sound systems and using ALSA and JACK together with a real-time kernel."
