Does anyone know of a good opensource (free) software for trimming and splicing video?

The software I am using is kodak easy share. It works ok but I it shrinks the files down during editing. The edited videos are unusable because the resolution is so low. Any ideas?
I am using AVI files.

Can I make a good website for a hotel with Joomla or Mambo?

I made a site once with a free hosting addyour.net and had free MySQL server so I tried it..made a cool site as something to try but now since it’s down… It’s gone. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how difficult it’d be for me to make a website using OpenSource Software for a small hotel….

Do you think it’s do-able? or do I need more skills?

Ty!

What is a good, backup software for linux?

We have 3 linux (RedHat ES3)

We are thinking we want commercial software, but open source software is not out of the question.

I definitely want a central management interface, so I can schedule/backup/restore, from on single machine/tape drive.

I want something with DR bare-metal restore capabilities.

Ease of installation, and administration, is much much preferred — If there are specific advantages (and really good documentation community support, like for a good OpenSource option), I might be willing to give a little “ease” up — but for the most part we want something that wont take a lot a time to set up and maintain.

Not necessary but .. We might actually decide to use DVD DL media for our backups. If we did, it would be nice if the software had a windows interface for the management, so the discs could be burned from on the windows machine with the DVD DL drive.

Anyway — interested to hear what people thing about the different options that are out there!!

Can anyone recommend a good FREE invoicing package?

Preferably something Windows or Web based. I currently use MyInvoices, but it is having issues…I can no longer back up the database, a couple of invoices became corrupted, etc. I’m looking for something to replace it, but I don’t want anything as expensive or complex as Quickbooks. I would strongly prefer something free such as opensource or freeware. Any recommendations? (Prefer you actually use it yourself and know its good before you recommend it)
I have Windows XP Pro.
