Linux and free software

[Daisensei]

Reviving an almost forgotten topic...

I wonder if the Linux users of the board have registered themselves at Linux Counter project. I'm registered as user #66569.

So, who has tried Free-BSD?

Hello, all! It's been FOREVER since I've posted at this forum. Just wanted to let you know in this topic that I've been using Ubuntu (Linux) 9.10 for about a month now because of a recent virus on my beautiful Windows PC D':

And it's pretty good!

I got my old wireless card to work, I can connect it to my scanner (wirelessly, even!), some of my Windows programs run great in WINE, I can word process school documents in OpenOffice.org AND I'm running a test LAMP server right now which works pretty well.

Linux might not do everything well. But it's good for free!

Yeah because I just dreamed all those times Windows just crashed...

Anyway... I want to know programs for Linux that can re-place paint, GIMP is great but has a long learning curve...

I know that a few good video editors are KINO (for DV), KdenLive (for multi-purpose), Cinelerra (I hear the effects are pretty cool but the interface is icky), and I know people that use Blender as a video editor!

I asked you for a easy to use paint clone, what did you give me?

You did not give me GNU Paint! Shame on you!
