Web site HowtoForge details how to install Ubuntu Studio, an Ubuntu flavor aimed at the creative set.
If you’re interested in audio, graphics, and video editing but you don’t have the scratch to shell out for the premium Windows or Mac apps, Ubuntu Studio could be a great time to take the dive into Linux. HowtoForge’s installation instructions are straightforward and simple, so you should be able to get things up and running without too much effort (though, unfortunately, Linux can be a mixed bag). I’m curious if there are any creative professionals out there using Linux instead of their Windows or Mac counterparts for this sort of creative work, so let’s hear your experience in the comments.
Installing Ubuntu Studio 7.04 – Linux For The Creative [HowtoForge]
With the release of Microsoft’s new Windows operating system (Vista), more and more people are looking for alternatives to Windows for various reasons. This tutorial shows people who are willing to switch to Linux how they can set up a Linux desktop (Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn in this article) that fully replaces their Windows desktop, i.e. that has all software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that runs also on older hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.
I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
