CinePaint? I'm trying to persuade the texture artists at work to try and move over to it rather than use Photoshop under Windows - we're seeing more Windows boxen creep in because of ruddy Photoshop.
You could take a look at the Mac under MacOS X. Not Linux but a rock solid Unix with: most of the bsd features fink, a Debian-like package system for lots of common freeware, including filmgimp a reasonable X11 port, soon to be integrated into XFree86 as well as the traditional Mac tools and native M$ utilities. :-( I've been using a 12" powerbook for about two months now and have been impressed by the build quality, range of familiar software, and impressive battery life: for the first time ever, I really can get 3.5 hours on the road without having to scramble around for a mains socket. Sorry if people think this is off-topic, but if you take Linux to mean "free unix and gnu utilities" than this email at least half-qualifies. ;-) ..Adrian -- Dr Adrian F Clark WEB: http://esewww.essex.ac.uk/~alien/ EMAIL: alien@essex.ac.uk TEL: +44 1206 872432 FAX: +44 1206 872900 PAPER: VASE Lab, Dept ESE, University of Essex, Colchester, CO4 3SQ, UK
