[XCSSA] Video editing programs for windows?

[xcssa@xcssa.org]

I'd suggest a linux livecd/dvd with appropriate video editing hardware
w/ windows emulation added in.  Bruce Dubbs 'Linux From Scratch 6.3'
(http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.3/), teaches the steps
necessary to build a basic Linux-based operating system.  Prob. not
what your friend would be interested in though.
http://www.linux.com/articles/60837 (March 2007) discusses some
suggestions ($$ && FOSS)
On a quicker note, one of the live CD/DVD distros noted below will
save some $$ for the basic hardware required to do the video editing.
(insert, reboot, ready to go).

* Fedora Core and Ubuntu also have "live" cd/dvd's distros that
contain/make use of the above software
