linux check in

**webby** · 01-05-2007, 03:14 AM

For those who are into the linux....

curious as to what version you're running, and what you are using it for.
I've seen a lot of people trying to get photoshop to run on linux properly on other forums. I know some people dual boot their system to boot linxu/win and then just choose win if they need to run PS.

Anyone on here ever messed with that, or had success with photoshop or adobe products on linux?

OSX and Red Hat

I use all sorts of *nix at work... variants of freebsd, RHEL, solaris.. mostly firewall devices, but also a few logging devices we've got... I've got OSX on my mac and I play around in the shell from time to time.. Mostly mild use, but I'm definitely comfortable with what I know.

currently on ubuntu. this is probably the longest i've been on one distro. I think this box started off on hoary, now it's edgy. most of that time it was a kubuntu but i've recently ditched all the kde stuff.
started on caldera linux back in late 90's, then red hat, mandrake, suse, then gentoo for a year or two, then tried just about every distro of linux and bsd available before sticking with ubuntu. Currently have 4 ubuntu boxes and 1 gentoo.
I have crossover office running ms office. never bothered trying photoshop. gimp does the limited stuff i need.

I got three computers two of them are dual booted with WinXP and Suse, the third one use IPcop a Firewall Distro. I love it has so many goodies for network management and security. It has proxy, firewall, bandwidth monitor for each device on the network, bandwidth control, packect priority settings, VPN, antivirus, antispam, dhcp, dns, Intrusion Detection and blocking, automatic website and popup blocking and so many other things is very cool you only need an old machine that you're not using anymore and two (or more) ethernet cards.

Recentrly I decided to upgrade Suse 10.0 -> OpenSuse10.2 on both machines since the 10.1 was the worst version that they had released and I love it.

Right now Im working on the notebook and the migration is going fine.

i tried to dualboot windows and linux once and i erased my hard drive on accident. losing all your data FTL!

Old revive, but you can try using "wine", maybe a shot in the dark...

Or a more easy way to run photoshop on linux is getting crossover office that uses wine as the win32 emulator. They have made profiles for Photoshop.

More info here.

List of photoshop supported versions.

Since photoshop is so heavy and sometimes when a new release comes out hard to find I decided to use Gimp and it works perfectly for being an opensource/free photo editing tool.

I don't needed to use photoshop anymore since 2005. You should give it a try.
