Well I land in Lyon on May 10th, head to the family home in the south of France, then buy a motorcycle and tour about France and visit family in Utrecht,dicht bij der Dom and other parts of the Netherlands, Deventer and Borger near Assen. Will be there in Europe for about 4 or so months, but mostly in France I would say.
Have just bought another laptop, a Dell D420 which is smaller that the large D830 I took with me last year to Europe. With Lucid Lynx Alpha Release (Ubuntu 10.04) installed and working very very well, the D420 is a very light 12" 1024 x 800 screen with a Core Duo processor. I choose to buy this over the latest 10" Atom based netbooks as the D420 is the same weight, but more rugged for the motorbike and with more capacity to do real stuff like editing sound and video, hence my interest in PiTiVi. I haven't been a video enthusiast in the past so this is new to me. I am more skilled in sound recording, and in it's many forms, art, soundscape, live performance recording and so on.
The reason for my interest in this thread is that I will mount my video camera on the motorcycle to record a few of the nice trips through France and then do some basic editing and viewing on the laptop.
So, I'm playing about now getting ready for it. If you are interested you can see this
