Last Friday I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 as could be read in a previous entry of mine. I would like to say thanks to Huygens for his insight in some of my problems, it sort of cleared some things up in relation to the audio and video codecs not being directly present. I must say that it’s a shame you have to activate it manually after the installation, but ok, it works all now so that is all nicely figured out.

I pretty much got everything up and running again like it was before with 6.10, so that is quite nice. Now to just get a bit of a nicer theme again and install Beryl for it, that’ll come down to finding some sort of guide for it again though since I got absolutely no clue on how to install it myself, hehe.

Asides from simply Feisty Fawn I recently also came across Ubuntu Studio, which will focus on graphics, video and audio. Although audio is something I can care less about, video and graphics is kinda nice. So I’ll be checking it out once it gets available, it’s a shame they are taking oo.o out so I suppose I’ll be having to install that back myself, but that shouldn’t be that much of a problem.

So far I must say that the entire concept of Ubuntu studio definitely sounds interesting and will give a totally different aspect to Linux by placing this all together.

Currently release though has been set back a couple of weeks on it, so there’ll still be some waiting to do. So far Ubuntu 7.04 therefore will be used, my guess is that somewhere in May we’ll be seeing this one released. Once they day is there I’ll be looking into it a bit more.

Now if only of course Photoshop and Painter could run on Linux, perhaps one day alternatives for it will come available but for now it’ll still be Windows to be used for that. I do know there’s like cinePaint and Pixel32 available, but they can’t really compete with either of them yet in my opinion.
