Apt-Get Install *all-software-installed-by-default-in-Ubuntu-studio*Just install some software. No need for a whole new distribution. Would work in Debian, Mandriva and possibly Linspire, too.
@Tonycubed,For me, the problem isn't the distro itself, but the fanboyism of many of its users. The distro itself isn't all that bad, which is why about 5 minutes ago, I installed it to dual boot with *BSD....I can see another reason purists might not like Ubuntu. It includes "non-free" software. For instance, the Nvidia driver was already installed, which surprised me a bit. For those users, there are "more free" distros like Fedora or gNewSense (which might not be a bad idea for others besides purists, it can be a good way to install something very basic and add only what you need?)
You have two choices. Something that looks good and works well, or, something that looks like s**t and works well.The fact that you'd not only pick the latter, but avoid the former simply because of it 'looking good' says more about you than I possibly could.
@M1ndlessWhat do you think I'm Macgyver or something? That I can just whip out a pro-level video application just because I want one? I wish it were that easy. But not everyone is a software developer. I guess some people just don't understand that concept. Not everyone can think the way a software developer can. Just like not everyone can swallow swords or be a doctor. If I had those skills I certainly would do it. It would probably pay pretty well. But I don't have the time or the skills to do it. And really why should I, when there are perfectly good suites out there right now on both the Windows and Mac platforms? Just because there isn't a version for Linux is not my problem, it's a Linux problem and another good reason for me not to use the OS until it matures more. Sure I'd like to see an application like that but I'm not exactly on my knees begging for one. In fact I see it the other way around, that Linux is begging me to use it and just not doing a very good job at the moment with its current software offerings.The point I was trying to make initially is, Linux doesn't need more distros, it needs more pro-level software. You can come out with as many media distros as you want until you're blue in the face, but what's the point unless it comes with some newer/better software then what's currently available for other distros?I guess it's just a Linux thing that I really don't understand. Everyone and their brother has a Linux distro these days and the only difference between them all is the default theme. The energy these guys are using to build this distro could be better spent on building quality media applications for the original Ubuntu which is perfectly fine to use for media itself.

KDEnLive looks to be a promising NLE for Linux <a class="user" href="http://kdenlive.sourceforge.net/index.php">http://kdenlive.sourceforge.net/index.php</a> There is really fast development for it. There is also a Ubuntu .deb for KDEnLive but it needs dependences. Here are some instructions for installing KDEnLive for Ubuntu.<a class="user" href="http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=322916&highlight=kdenlive">http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=322916&highlight=kdenlive</a>sudo aptitude install k3b dvdauthor dvgrab libxine1wget <a class="user" href="http://download128.mediafire.com/ottzmktnmlyg/ammoqj12nzn/kdenlive_mlt_ubuntu.zip">http://download128.mediafire.com/ottzmktnmlyg/ammoqj12nzn/kdenlive_mlt_ubuntu.zip</a>unzip kdenlive_mlt_ubuntu.zip -d kdenlivecd kdenlivesudo dpkg -i mlt_cvs20070101_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i mlt++_cvs20070101_i386.debsudo dpkg -i kdenlive_svn20070101_i386.debI had a few bumps installing but it all worked fine!!
