they are scared. and they should be.

lord knows i'm not waiting for longhorn.

the only thing thats been holding me back- is figuring out how to get photoshop to run on a linux distro. thats it.

cant you run a windows emulator?


fuck there are emu's out for everything.

 

[CRX-YEM]

use Wine emulator,
or use Gimp (photoshop equivelent)

I was interested in Suse until I found out there's no way to get a .bin copy of everything, you can only install via FTP.

I'm looking at switching to linux as well, but I need my Autocad, and taxcut etc. to work on linux, I'm gonna build a test system and work everything out and see how it goes,

that's exactly where i'm at right now.

i've used about 500 gb of linuxiso.org's bandwidth the past few months... lol i even donated cuz i felt bad.

test box is almost running.
and like you said, there's just a few key prog's that you can't live without that have the possibility of not running. its kinda shame.

is Gimp <really> an equivelent to photoshop?

Not at all. Not yet anyway.

It's a great program, but it's just not at Photoshops level yet.

its worth a shot to try it out isnt it?

Oh right... I was supposed to get together with Dennis so I could send him SuSE Pro ISOs.



You want one B?

 

[posol]

i got it from linuxiso.org =)_

 

[phunky.buddha]

SuSE Pro?

 

[posol]

Honestly, i don't think i'll be running suse.

i'm probably going to make the step-in with http://www.lycoris.com/

it seems easy to use, and very windows-ish, and that prductivity pak looks killer.

best of all, they have some pretty active support forums
