Re: Adobe products under Linux?

 Well, if you have to use photoshop I know that linux doesn't support 
it outright and has GIMP, which is sorta like photoshop and then of 
course, nothing like photoshop is supported, same with openoffice 
which is more or less the same thing as the microsoft office suites 
sans access. If you have platform specific needs which are not open 
source it will be difficult to find them. I am rather curious why you 
would be looking though at linux to handle non open source 
applications. Also if you are doing heavy photoshop work, how about 
OSX? 10.5 I know is now posix complaint and has a whole host of 
applications. ~Ben
