Photoshop and Studio MX on Linux

**emmbec** · 03-23-2005, 05:08 AM

Hi, I am starting to switch to Linux because I am getting tiered of the "slowness" of windows, but the reason I'm still staying is because of photoshop and all the macromedia development tools (Dreamweaver and Flash mostly). Is there a tool similar to those I've mentioned, or is there a way to installed them and having them mrun correctly on Linux. I've heared of WINE and also something about Disney pictures migrating Photoshop to Linux but I don't really know WINE. If anyone has any ideas I'd really apretiate it.[/list]

well you can always use: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxoffice/

and if you are like me and dont want to pay for it ... use wine
(to learn how to use wine: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/search.php?mode=results )

or just use the bittorent network and get crossover office

OK, I tryed it, but I have the following problem. I have a Macromedia Studio MX 2004 CD which has everything on it, there is no installer.exe for DREAMWEAVER its the general which then you must chose which app you want to install (dream, flash, etc) I click on dreamweaver but it can't install it, there are a lot of error messages displayed. Is there a nother way to install it, or do you know any good fast windows emulator to do so??? Thanx
