Linux DRAW or Linux ILLUSTRATOR

1998-04-21 Thread Leonardo Ruoso
Can someone tells me about some apps thats do the work of Corel Draw in
Linux, Like Corel Draw? O heard about GIMP that can substitute Corel
PhotoPaint and Photoshop! And about substitute Corel Ventura, Adobe
Pagemaker or QuarkXpress?

I don't know if I am just wondering... but its possible I know...

My problems all are simple to undertend.. as I work to a medium
Newspaper (http://www.opovo.com.br) I have to solve some problems like
machines to slow with Corel Draw 7, QXpress 3.32, Photoshop 4 and
reinstalling it every day... There are 300 machines here... what i want
is reduci the reinstall... increase performance...


I use PCS with Windows 95 and 3.11. I am interested in migrating to
Linux... but I need this... and I don't have how to ask boss to develop
this...


TIA

Leonardo Ruoso

xfig might fit your needs for a Corel Draw-like program.  There is
currently no suitable substitute for PageMaker.  However, there is a
project called GLUe that is working on one.  Their home page is at
http://aix2.uottawa.ca/~s1204672/glue/.  Currently the program is
rather primitive; I don't know if it's at all usable.

Axene (http://www.axene.com) also makes a nice desktop publishing program
for unix, Xclamation. It costs money, but (IMHO) it's worth it for the
functionality, and seems to be fairly mature.

Hi,

even though there's a Corel version for Linux, I believe it's Corel
3.0. 

I can advise you to do two things:

1) Write emails for the manufacturers (Corel, Adobe, Aldus, Quark),
and tell them that you need, as ask them if they have, programs for
the Linux platform. The more people do this, the more the companies
will see linux as a market. Corel already sees ahead, as they are
porting their Office Suite to Java!

2) It might help, if you have a LAN, to remotely install all the
programs in a Linux server running Samba. This will boost the
performance (talking about my own practical experience, not any
systematic test I did), and if you play a little bit with read/write
permissions, protect the files from being erased and corrupted. This
should help.

Qualquer coisa, e so escrever...
