not "stupid". Mandrake for Power PC, and use broadcast 2000 for video
editting.... smooth in my humble opinion.
But truly expensive for the Power PC MAC. of course you can build a P4 PC
with 512 megs ram and a uwscsi 2 hard drive that will do the editting even
better (also in my opinion) for a few bucks less than buying the Power MAC
