Ubuntu Studio

[mandysee_mandydo]

I is a happy turtle. I have installed Ubuntu Studio successfully on a PC at work and will be using it soon to do non-linear editing. I am very giddy to try it out and see how well it works. ^_^

EDIT:
Can I just say I LOVE Ubuntu so far? Because I do! Granted, I haven't played with a Linux or *nix flavor since Fedora Core 1 and certainly not anything extensive since some rather old version of FreeBSD about 8 years ago, but... I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO MOUNT MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE! I love that it can autodetect and hotswap! Okay, that is all. Back to work now.

I'm gonna pretend I knew all that techspeak in the edit and just say this:

Groovy.

Basically it means that when I plugged in the external hard drive, the computer recognized it right away instead of me telling it to find it.

And indeed, 'twas very groovy. :)

"Mount your external hard drive"? Strange. I myself have never yet felt a desire to mount my external hard drive. Am I missing out on something that would make me and my Acme Latex Love Doll the happiest of couples? - Sunstone

Well, you should try it some time. It's quite the shocking experience! ;)

But in all seriousness, in Linux the act of making a drive available for use is called mounting (the command used is mount) and the act of discontinuing its use is called unmounting (the command is unmount).
