Ubuntu Studio
So while I'm waiting for it to finish downloading...
I'm going to put together a machine from spare parts at home and install Ubuntu Studio 7.04. It's a multimedia creation flavor of Ubuntu. If I can get it to work successfully then I can use it to save us a bunch of money at work and get up to speed with digital post-production. The big ifs: will Ubuntu recognize and play nice with the PCI firewire card, will it recognize and play nice with our digital camcorders and will the system produce broadcast-quality video? That's what I hope to find out from testing. If I can pull this off I will be so exuberant!
