For the Linux users out there, here is an online petition asking for them to make Linux versions of Dreamweaver, Flash, Premiere, etc. I agree with the sentiment there - it is the lack of creative software such as this that is holding back Linux adoption.

I wonder how hard is that for them to do?Comment

add one more request: licenses for Adobe products should be transferable. As far as I know, you need to get new ones if switching to another platform like from PC to Mac.See my latest works on twitter.com/yonidesignComment

Using Crossover or Wine, all of these are able to be run on Linux if you are really wanting them and don't want to wait for Adobe.Comment

Signed and Crossover works great with all the above. I am using Dreamweaver, Flash CS3 and Photoshop under Fedora with Crossover. Works great. No Problems getting them to work

Just get yourself a cheap Win XP pc and network it to your Linux pcs if possible. Why jump through hoops to try to make it work with Linux or convince Adobe to make it work with Linux which they can't be bothered with?Comment

Yep nothing like a petition with no seed money to get a program off the groundComment

Anyone who thinks they are going to port to linux is bonkers.
I don't even know where to begin on that one.

Well, Adobe has just joined the Linux Foundation and has announced plans to port Adobe Air to Linux. As for other applications, who knows. But it is a start.
Progress takes time. No one thought that a major PC maker would sell Linux desktops and laptops either - but when enough people requested it on Dell's request blog, Dell started selling them. But I guess those people were just wasting their time, huh?
I find it a bit ironic that so many people who almost certainly host their sites on Linux servers are so negative towards it. If you think Windows is so much better, are you using IIS?Comment

Look, Kev - I'm a dork, I'm paid to be so.
However, the word is not, and will never adopt Linux for desktop use. It has less of a foothold than Macs, and many companies have dropped Mac because it wasn't worth their time. That they're willing to even bother continue giving us Flash is almost amazing. See also: Java and BSD.Last edited by GrouchyAdmin; 04-01-2008, 05:52 PM.Comment

I find it pretty easy to use on the desktop, but would agree that Windows is easier as of now. But if major software developers like Adobe are involved, there is a good chance that situation will change. I see no reason why the desktop versions could not be improved.
The alternative is what - buy a Mac or just take whatever Microsoft decides to shove down your throat? Now that Microsoft is attacking Adobe's Flash with their Silverlight product, maybe Adobe is starting to question how much of a benefit it might be to encourage Linux and Apple development. They might remember what happened to Netscape.Comment

Adobe has not even made a 64 bit version of their flash plugin for browsers. I can't imagine why, since they're not only leaving aside all AMD 64bit processor's users but also those users who use Windows XP or Vista in their 64bit versions and hope to improve their computer's performance using 64bit applications. Of course windows has a way to use the 32bit version of the plugin, something that does not happen in Linux. The use of flash is so widespread today that not having it installed in your browser is a total nightmare, just as an example... you can't even see youtube videos!
So judging from this way of doing things I don't think they'll do CS3 or DW for linux in the near future. Nevertheless you got my vote, as someone said above, if they joined the Linux Foundation, maybe we're witnessing the beginning of a change in Adobe.Comment

Yea.. but that is not saying much.. I agree with you.. as a x64 user.. life here sucks.. canon doesn't make may drivers.. Adobe is all x86.. acdsee is all x86.. nero.. x86.. itune ( for xp not vista) is x86.. and the list goes on and on..
however.. nero created an linux version.. symantec made a linux version.. so it may be a back burner project for adobe.. but maybe one day..

Dear Adobe,
Please release a flash player for AmigaDOS 3.1+. Any of the following TCP stacks are fine:
3735, MiamiDX, AmiTCP, EasyTCP, and AmigaDOS 3.5+.
Thank you.Comment

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

I signed it. Just because you make something for Linux doesn't mean you can't charge for it.
As a matter of fact, there are already Linux based editing programs for professionals (like Piranha). But at 5 digit pricing that's just not in everybody's budget.
Many if not most visual effects companies already work on Linux, usually using custom programs, or non-free programs like Combustion, Mental Ray, and Maya. So yes, Linux is a very viable option for creative professionals.

I am using debian and this works for me:
apt-get install dreamweaver
If you are using fedora core, you should use yum
e.g.:
yum install flash\ 9
yum install adobe\ premiere
There seems to be a glibc problem when installing Final Cut Pro, but I am sure that will be fixed in a few weeks.It's better when you can Switch.

Dreamweaver was one of the main reasons I shifted to a Mac after working primarily on linux for a number of years... Yes you can run DW on linux, but it runs like shit, lots of lagging and CPU thrashing, buggy dialogues and shit just not working right. On the Mac, you can still use all the open source stuff, lots of terminals, just like a unix desktop... but dreamweaver and photoshop and all those other handy gui apps work just how they're supposed to, and everything is nicely integrated with the file manager and OS as a whole. My productivity is waaay higher on my Mac, it was a great investment.Comment
