My friend and me talked about Linux some time ago and it looks like the newest version has a really good Gui and is easy to work with.
Now has someone here any experiences with it? Are progs like ps and flashmx working? I’m a pretty noob with that stuff. But I would really like to check out something different to Windows, sometimes it makes me so mad…
I do not think Macromedia and Adobe release those programs for Linux. I could be mistaken, but the only way I know of to run these programs on linux would be to use a windows emulator, which kind of defeats the purpose. =0) I use Mandrake Linux 9 on one of my PCs and while I am certanly not an expert, I can try to answer questions. If I don’t know I will ask the Unix Administrator that sits two doors down from me. =0)
Cheers!

No linux OS ive seen runs windows software without a emulator and when it does its very unstable 
i used to have redhat 7.0 and wine a windows emulator and its not what i expected, if only linux would get support from the main companies windows and macs would be out of the picture since linux is the most stable OS in the market right now, its tailored to network administrators or programmers, not graphic artists or aniimators
Linux wont be a mainstream for the home user as long as it doesnt have support for some of the most widely used appz, it does have a word processing app star office which i hear is better than office. Till then i guess im stuck on windows cause macs well lets not go there lol
I have redhat and it confuses me!
lol I have star office and it only installs in spanish

ya i dont like redhat that much i got mandrake and i like that much better i aslo got llindows which sucks btw, i hear suse linux is the best though never tried it :-\
Thanks for the respons. So I could do my gfx stuff on my normal win pc and the html php and this stuff on linux. That would be worthless 
but just using linux would be fun! lol i want to run it but dotn really have a spare pc (that no one in my family cares about) to run it on oh well
I actually know a few people who ran the Flash IDE on linux with an emulator, and it was quiet stable, they said…
I had a good link about running flash on linux, the site’s down though
I’ll post it once the site’s up again
its quite easy to set up a dual-boot pc - where you can choose linux or windows (2000 :)) at start-up according to your needs. being a quake player, i know plenty of people that have linux dual-boot set-ups just to get some extra fps in quake3. then they use windows for everything else
