Well, you will surely be more productive on Windows 2000 where video
post-production is king now. Linux multimedia is quite infant and
experimental. You pretty much have to have some coding ability and good
diagnosis skills unless all you are interested in is using Gimp. MP3 wares
on Linux are pretty decent too.

In the future, much of this work will be built into the distributions. For
example, quite a bit of our packages and leading edge stuff like gstreamer
are making their way into the Debain unstable packages repository. There
was recently announced a multimedia distro based on Debian called Demudi.

The errors below are what you get when you need to add the line "#define
<time.h>" to the headers.h file. Yes, there is already a <sys/time.h>, but
because of changes to glibc you will need <time.h>.
