There is a photoshop-like program native to linux called GIMP, it's very feature rich, except after spending 10 years using photoshop, I don't want to relearn how to do everything!

It would be cool if photoshop would run without wine in linux. If Mac osX is based on BSD, it doesn't seem as daunting a task to port to another POSIX system.

No doubt linux is a strong server platform. As far as the desktop is concerned, linux has lots of potential, but it still needs to hide complexity from normal users before it's ready for the masses.

Check out this Compiz Fusion demo, I had Compiz running, the cube desktop rotation is fun, but now I'm using a super low resource window manager called DWM
