Mihkay!
Good man for advocating the dark side. I've been a linux user for the last 5 years or so (Although I have to confess I do my music recording on my old mac...)
I've had no luck with video editing on linux though - youtube rejected all my videos...
What distro? I've been through loads of them! Ubuntu, puppy, zenwalk, slackware, mint and back to ubuntu again!
