A student asked me earlier today if I knew how to install the program Cinelerra, which seems to be a very nice open source video editing software. He had apparently tried installing it some time ago, but had failed to get it working, ending up in your usual hours of typing commands from sites and wondering what the heck they do.
As I was intrigued to see if this program would be so complicated to install, 10 minutes later I had it installed on our student library Ubuntu machine (especially for those support FOSS and/or Ubuntu), and afterwards explained how I'd done that. I'll do the same thing here, after the break.
