When I use the term "multimedia" it's meaning is huge. When I refer to a modern Linux release  such as the Debian / Ubuntu, my mind automatically includes the application repositories that are part of that { at last count about 22,000}.  For your reference this is the Ubuntu family repository: <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu</a> Audio:--------------------------------------  For your ref. this is the Linux audio users and developer list and archives:  Many advanced musicians, teachers, program audio authors.  <a href="http://lad.linuxaudio.org/subscribe/lau.html">http://lad.linuxaudio.org/subscribe/lau.html</a>  <a href="http://portal.linuxaudio.org/">http://portal.linuxaudio.org/ </a>  <a href="http://lad.linuxaudio.org/archive/lau.html">http://lad.linuxaudio.org/archive/lau.html</a>     <---- this is the searchable archive. It is a treasure trove of many years.  For your ref.  Bob Katz a { non Linux } professional audio engineer site.  Many fine articles at this address.    His book "Mastering Audio" would be a treasure for your students.  <a href="http://www.digido.com/bob-katz/index.php">http://www.digido.com/bob-katz/index.php</a> Audio Video:  For your ref.  Jay Rose a { non Linux } professional video audio engineer.  Many fine articles at this address.    His two books on video audio would be very fine for your students.      "Producing Great Sound for Digital Video"      "Audio Postproduction for Digital Video"  <a href="http://www.dplay.com/">http://www.dplay.com/</a> Graphics 3D:  Within the application " K3D " it is able to pull on a number of " rendering engines"  one of which is called " aqsis" which opens the door to " Renderman" the magic behind Lucas films and Disney.   <a href="http://www.k-3d.org/wiki/Main_Page">http://www.k-3d.org/wiki/Main_Page </a>   <a href="http://www.aqsis.org/xoops/modules/news/">http://www.aqsis.org/xoops/modules/news/</a>    <--- AQSIS, there are others.   <a href="http://www.smartcg.com/tech/cg/books/RfB/home/index.html">http://www.smartcg.com/tech/cg/books/RfB/home/index.html </a>  <-- good Beginning Renderman  book.  <a href="http://www.rendermanacademy.com/docs/ClassFrame01.php?sel=1">http://www.rendermanacademy.com/docs/ClassFrame01.php?sel=1</a>  <-- Do not get lost.  I hope this answers some of what you were wanting to know. It is by no means, exhaustive. High resolution digital computing is very hardware hungry. Lots of core memory, disks, processors, high speed I/O. Welcome aboard. Please encourage your students to become active in the Open Source community. The Linux audio developers could use some support. Tom
