Now I am nearing the last 25 of the century, I am digging to Linux archives and looking for lesser known but powerful Linux distributions.
Videio Linux is one of them.
I am writing this with VideioLinux on RAM.
It is packed with lot of audio and viedio but unfortunately there is no Blender.
It is less than 500 MiB and I should down load from the synaptic repository (I prefer they should have done it for me since our Telecom is slow).
Guess from where does it come from?
PCLinux Based and I hope PCLinux get busy with them and make a lowly distribution.

Accident or Coincidence
It is no coincidence that many window's users are inundated with problems of viruses especially if they are using pirated copies of operating system and software.
There is no guarantee that even if you buy a proprietary you are free of troubles.
I have gone through all these troubles when I was depending on others for service and I was relatively busy with my clinical and academic activities.
Hard drive crash with bad sectors, CD Rom / DVD Rom laser burnt outs, RAM burn outs and Graphic card burnouts and faulty CD/ DVDs and bad burns.
These incidents were common when using Windows especially with the liberal use of Nero and Linux did not have a good burn utility.
With K3Bcoming to the scene and the new kernels are up by the minute these problems are things of the past.
The problem with Windows and Nero utility and the hardware (Disk, RAM, Graphic Cards) is they are produced as OEM products and the operating system cannot synchronize everything in one go.
When I started using Linux Only these incidents dropped dramatically since kernel modules are updated regularly and the synchronization and use of processes (windows will never be able to perform this) and sharing of resources are managed excellently.
Recently I bought (it is time I should write a book) the Linux Bible by Christopher Naegus (I am now far ahead of him as far as the Live CDs are concerned.
There is no competition though and it is an excellent book.
In the back of the book it says "Christopher Nagus knows Linux and so you do".I really like that phrase.
Go and buy this Bible if you want a head start.

This is the plus side of Linux if you are a heavy user of resources, like me.
Even if you are not using computers heavily the bucks you save on hardware is enormous.So make an effort to learn Linux.Recently I bought (it is time I should write a book) the Linux Bible by Christopher Naegus (I am now far ahead of him as far as the Live CDs are concerned.
