Kino is nonlinear editor software. It can capture raw video, edit and re-organise it, and export the final results. With additional free, extra-cool plugins, Kino gives you all the necessary tools to make good movies.

Ubuntu uses the Gnome Desktop, whilst Kubuntu uses the KDE desktop, but they both have the same Kernel, Graphic System, Compiler, Auxiliary Libraries and even the same Installation procedure. Only a few distros like Fedora core 6 and Mandriva have together the Gnome 2.16 and KDE 3.5.4 Fedora 7 would be out by 24 May 2007.

Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of Linux and Unix. Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based UNIXs, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris.
