Tonight I tried a version of Linux called dyne:bolic. You can burn this version of Linux onto a CDROM and run the entire operating system from the CDROM. All of its multimedia tools worked pretty well on my system. I was able to play videos that would not run on my recently updated Mandrake Linux 9.2 system.
It includes the open source video editing software called Cineterra. Cineterra doesn’t have very many video effects but I was impressed.
I was able to bring up YouTube in the FireFox browser and I could watch videos after installing the Macromedia Flash plugin.
