For several months I've been thinking about moving to Linux operating system. This would resque our old machine which is getting left behind when it comes to hardware (and it would also put fun back into computing). The problem is that if I convert the only machine our family has to Linux, it would mean that an important program, Photoshop, which we use everyday has to be abandoned. This can't be the case since my father is a busy professional photographer, and he uses the somewhat ancient Photoshop 5 LE everyday. He can't be forced to use GIMP because PS 5 is the same program they use at work (...why not PS 7 or something newer, don't ask me). My question is, does Photoshop run on Wine? If it does, what sort of problems does it have? Will the performance of a somewhat older PC suffer greatly? Sorry but FAQs and documentations aren't enough to answer this question. I need to hear user experiences about this. Converting the whole computer to another OS is a huge step and it's very risky business in our case. Unfortunately, we can't even dual-boot because of lack of disk space. Another option would be buying a brand new PC with Windows XP, Photoshop 7 etc. But I'd like to have another options. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
