I have not had any problems connecting my wi-fi using several different distributions of Linux, so I didn’t realize that there was a problem. But it seems that wi-fi for Linux has been a hodge-podge of drivers and systems, none of which provided a total support system. But this is about to change. It seems that this will all be wrapped up into the kernel of Linux itself, which should provide better wi-fi support for us all.

This is just more area that the Linux platform is improving upon. In the next few months we will see other advancements that should help in bringing Linux to our desktop.

Over at Ubuntu, they are in the process of working on a new version called Ubuntu Studio that they describe as:

Ubuntu Studio is a multimedia editing/creation remix of Ubuntu. Its built for the GNU/Linux audio, video, and graphic enthusiast or professional.

Our aim is to make it more accessible for new users to get into the tools that GNU/Linux has to offer for multimedia creation/production. We also want to spotlight whats out there. Show users tools they might not have know existed.

The original release date was April 2007, but there has been some type of a delay. Hopefully this new version when released will provide a great platform for those interested in multimedia editing.
