[SATLUG] Linux like MAC...

[Alex Bartonek]

I didnt take a good look at iMovie, but I've done some
vid clips of my race car with MainActor under
Linux...very good application and worth the money to
register.  I used Audacity to put together a audio
clip that I'm going to incorporate into my next vid of
my car..  good combination.
