what I meant to say is: "I wanna say hi first before starting posting here, because the Osterhase said so!"
seriously, I'm a newbee linux addict with lots of love for free open source audio and graphics sollutions (so to say probably a to be new bee in the hive of linux arts production). expecially my heart belongs to low-budget ease of use stuff running on cheap hardware and jumps whenever thinking about the possibilities of creative working it opens for individuals otherwise jilted by the society they live in - just like shareware/freeware/opensource stuff helped lots with enabling me to utter my dreams somehow
yeah, what do you guys think, isn't free multimedia software one great of many ways to uplift people from misery by making it possible for them to work with something that is uplifting by itself - music & gfx?
