FOSS New Media Production

13 Apr in linux, new media, open source

Gurdy Leete is an art professor who recently decided to switch to FOSS: Last semester I embarked on an exciting new adventure by erasing Mac OS X from nearly all of the Macintoshes in our digital media lab and installing Ubuntu in its place.. Apparently, he was quite successful, and only hit a few snags. This is definitely encouraging for those us trying to spur new media production in state schools!

great to hear

I just got around to reading this, and it's really great to hear that a teacher has had such a positive experience. Imagine what you could do for your new media lab if you didn't have to spend any money on software? HP will sell you machines that RHEL and SUSE will run on. I'm guessing Ubuntu would run on those machines, too. Try this one.
