Iv been working with linux for a few years now and im starting to get into video editing and what not… I know about APODIos… I WILL NEVER RUN MAC so dont even bother telling me to get mac

I heard that there is many Linux OS’s out there but I want a free one which I can use on my x64 i7 System. I do alot of video editing and converting. Also do music DJing and play games on my system.

Ive grown up with computers since 1992. Ive used Windows 3.0, 95, 98, NT, XP, and i recently switched to Mac os x 10 and leopard.

Which linux os is good? Can it do everything windows can including playing pc games and dos games. How about video editing, burning dvds, cds, blurays and sound editing?

I’m planning on buying a new computer for my video editing production skills and I want to know if anyone is familiar with various patented computer brands such as Apple Machintosh, Microsoft Windows, Linux or any others that may be much more suited for video editing and broadcast preparation? I’m open to learning on other systems. I started off working on Apple Mac computers, then I started working on Microsoft Windows as the years went on; mostly, but I’m not sure if I’m missing something more suited for video editing. I want to make a good purchase just for my growing skills in the area of anything video or visual. Of course audio is a concern as well. Please any expert knowledge or someone who has any resources that they can link to me?
