http://ubuntustudio.org/

"Ubuntu Studio aims to be a multimedia editing flavor of Ubuntu for the Linux audio, video, and graphic enthusiast or professional who is already familiar with the Ubuntu-Gnome environment.

The team currently plans to contain the following applications:

Cinelerra - Video Editing

Soma - Audio

Jahshaka - Animation, Keying, Effects

This seems like an excellent idea, we will see in a few months how successful it is.
