I dual boot both Linux and Windows. I'm currently running Fedora 11 but my views are the same whether I'm running Ubuntu or Fedora. I still use Windows XP for work as I do a lot of work from home as I work in the photographic industry. And despite how good The Gimp is, it's just not possible to do a lot of the tasks I do via The Gimp. And anyone who works in the imaging industry and takes their work as serious as I do, knows this. Hence me falling back to Windows XP. The main apps I use Windows for are Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paint Shop Pro, Publisher 2007 and Power Producer. Plus a few others. --- I have no issues at all when installing software on Linux. If you do it properly and follow any required directions, then it should all work properly. The people who run into problems are usually the ones that have no idea what the hell they're doing and refuse to admit it. And therefore they refuse to do a simple Google search to find out how it should be done. With Ubuntu, I've found that 9/10 packages are in the repos somewhere and you should rarely have to dig outside of those. Currently, with my Fedora 11 system, I have to dig around for some things as the Fedora repos are nowhere near as vast as Ubuntu's. One of Ubuntu's great strengths! But that doesn't bother me because I'm quite an experienced Linux user and I do know what I'm doing. So basically, the information is out there, but at the end of the day it's up to the user and make some effort to source it instead of sitting around waiting for everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. I mean, you do get your operating system for free after-all!

I don't know whether it will meet your requirements, but i've used kino quite successfully for basic video editing. For simple photo editing (like crop, rotate, resize, etc.), i usually use gthumb, but gimp is better (albeit with a steeper learning curve) for the tough stuff.

Re: Problems with Ubuntu 9.1
Dear Peter, some years ago I moved from Europe to Australia. In Europe we had within the community I was living, people living next door who could help in setup issues. As far as I understand the Linux community here in Australia is still very young and Linux as an OS not very popular yet. Because of the distances it's even more difficult to find together, but it will come. Each system offers advantages and disadvantages and we should leave it to the individual with its individual preferences. I like my Ubuntu 8.04 and the rest of the family which is also quite happy in using either Ubuntu or Edubuntu, We had some issues, switching from XP to Suse Linux and than later to Ubuntu but they are all solved. All of us are now working on very stable systems either in the business, for hobby or school. In regard to the editing programs have a look on GIMP for photo editing,, and F-Spot for photo management, if you didn't had a look at it before. KINO or/and AVidemux for video editing are very good so far and meet my needs for video editing. The classical genealogy program in Linux is Gramps, I use Gramps and GenealogyJ.

The implication was that it was much easier with windows. This is completely contrary to my experience. I use XP home with programs such as Power Producer for video editing and DVD creation.

OpenShot is an excellent video editing software, and does nearly everything I've asked of it. To install Openshot, add the PPA via software sources using: 'ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge ' or via the terminal using: 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge' And then install it using synaptic. For a photo editing program, have a look at http://linuxappfinder.com/tag/photo%20editor for some suggestions.

Hi, Have a look at the wubi guide, it explains how to remove ubuntu manually. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How%20do%20I%20uninstall%20Wubi?

problems with ubuntu
Have recently installed Ubuntu and although I like what I see it is unable to connect to my net server Three.com.au using a wireless modem Huauei E220. After trying all options I decided to uninstall Ubuntu but am unable to do so. It is installed in conjunction with Windows but control panel- uninstall refuses to accept the uninstall command when Ubuntu is selected. Can you help with both these problems?
