anyone using linux for video editing?

[Lonni J Friedman]

My son suddenly has an interest in doing some basic video editing.
Basically he's addicted to youtube, and wants to start creating &
posting his own videos.  I'm willing to appease him, but only if
there's a good Linux video editing app out there.  Doesn't need a ton
of fancy features, just some basic stuff (adding removing audio,
splicing, text etc).

Anyone have personal experience with anything worth recommending that
will not drive me and/or a 12 year old mad?
