in The Hidden Costs Of A Simple Speeding Ticket on National Motorists Association Blog
Our city has put radar camera's everywhere. The fines for speeding are about $200 but no driver is blamed, the owner is and it does not affect his license since it may not be him driving. Now, two years later, the traffic flows at the posted speed. The city is disappointed that this new source of income did not keep rising like they thought it would.

OK, my buddy has his working fine in Kubuntu7.04. He said all he did was add the source and use apt-get to install it. Time to try again I think.

The easiest way to get cinerella running nice in ubuntu7.04 is this:

- partition hardrive with one for windows, one for fedoracore6, one for ubuntu, and one for swap
- install windowsxp
- install fedora core 6, and only choose the base options. don't pick office prodictivity or server or the other choice. the less the better trust me.
- do auto-updates
- install cinerella via the yum method for fedora as per http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php
- run "su" and then cd to /etc/yum.repos.d folder and disable or delete the freshrpm file(rm freshrmp.repo (something close to that filename))
- google for "fedora helper", download it and run "su" and then "./fedora_helper_filename", and install your video card drivers. the other stuff will already be done by cinerella
- install ubuntu last, and it will get your boot menu right. if you need to reinstall fedora, be sure to tell it not to do a grub boot menu or it will bork it up and you will end up having to install ubuntu again.
- hint, make a separate partition for ubuntu /home so you don't lose your email and settings.
- hint, fedoracore6 and ubuntu don't like sharing /home partitions.

The reason it is not working in ubuntu, is that it can't compile properly because ubuntu has forked two c header libraries in order to impliment nautilus. I don't have the names of those files handy, but it is not going to happen until they are unforked.
