Ubuntu 'Dapper Drake'

Dapper Drake

So, any of you running this then? I downloaded it and tried it from the live boot cd, and its real nice, tbfh. I'm seriously thinking of wiping my windows machine and converting to Dapper, but theres a few snags that I wonder if anyone can help me with. Firstly, I need Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash etc for work purposes, and there not linux supported. However, there is that Wine program that emulates Windows DLL's (so you can run Windows programs), but support for the CS2 creative suite is flakey at best. Gimp is good, but it's not that good.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or offer me some wise words? Anything would be really apprecieted - I'm getting sick of Windows and Dapper is just so customizable and powerful it would be rude not to use it.

Hmmm...

And your heart is set on using 'dapper'

Your definatley not going to use windows, that'd be by far the easiest option lol.

tbh i dont have any good experiences with running windows programs on linux distros, not even with emulators. Your best bet imho would be a dual windows/linux setup, so you can use linux for most stuff and use windows for teh stuff that doesnt come with linux. If you strip enough options from windows xp (or get xp lite) the startup delay is minimal

I think thats what Im leaning towards doing. Its a shame though. I wonder if the next versions of Photoshop and the like will support linux...
