However I have been learning GIMP for the past few months as there is no Photoshop for Linux and that is something I use. I suppose I could run it under some virtualised state but I am not keep on that, plus I doubt the machine I get will be majorly fast.
Back when I was working for The Moving Picture Company, we were using Photoshop (at least the CS2 and CS3) under Linux using Wine with very little difficulty. We even had Wacom tablets working with it. Saved us a fortune in Windows licenses, although towards the end of my time there we switched the big quad core workstations over to VMware Player running Windows and divided the workstation in half - one with Windows and the other Linux - all running at the same time. Wine was stil used for the lower end workstations.
