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.
