- the thing i've realised with linux in general, is that yr operating system is like a tool shed.. while we don't havelukusW
- quite the same polished applications (adobe) as the mac /win world, there are lots of utility applications and commandlukusW
- command line tools which provide really cutting edge technology -:> dealing with problems requires a more lateral approach if you're gonna do design in linuxlukusW

.. if you like doing stuff in 3d, check out blender (blender.org) it's truly amazing - it's also got a great non-linear video editor built in.

imagemagick and ffmpeg are super command-line toolkits.
gsteamer is a super video api - lots of amazing realtime processing.
then you also have projects like arduino and processing

i need to learn a lot of the command line stuff then, no?
- I've found it useful to learn more about the cmd line - it seems that a lot of the video apps in linux are really just frontends for ffmpeg and gstreamer - and as a result only a subset of the functions are includedlukusW
- frontends for ffmpeg and gstreamer - and as a result only a subset of the functions are included..lukusW
- at the very least, imagemagick is great for batch resizing etc - and ffmpeg is great for making flv fileslukusW

do any of you use sshfs?
this is pretty good for webdesign - you can mount yr webserver's filesystem directly to your own, so editing yr site is much like editing locally
