Oh man, I miss Linux so much. I used it for about a year a while ago, and it was amazing. I honestly like Linux more than Windows, too bad I need to use Photoshop for my work and I can't do that on Linux.
Nice post, and enjoy you linux distribution :)
I have replaced all my graphical software with open-source, but when I have to prepare files for print I normally have to use my wife's double boot (basically only used for me and my daughter playing games) and check it on an old photoshop 6.
