That would be so heaven-sent for a lot of graphic designers. A number of us 
stick with Windows only because of Photoshop and Flash. GIMP is okay, but it 
still lacks the ease and plugins of Photoshop. And Flash; I don't think it 
has an equivalent in Linux.

In another mailing list, Philweavers, some people have been asking before if 
there was anybody on the said list who use GIMP instead of Photoshop. I 
assume he wanted to shift the GIMP, and I have a feeling he wants to use this 
on Linux.

The good thing of having a good graphics program in Linux is you can do 
graphics, create the html code (I think there are a number of decent html 
editors in Linux; even mcedit is good enough for me), AND efficiently create 
and test server scripts (PHP, Perl, etc.; a number of developers are quite 
eager to shift to PHP from ASP and a large number have sites on *nix based 
hosts) all in ONE machine, without rebooting to shift to another OS.
