    ...Without booting windows, and don't miss it at all! If they can get wine to work really well with most applications, I'll never go back. Does anyone know if they have Photoshop CS3 working with wine yet?

    CS3 does work but the new interface still is buggy. I cant live without photoshop too lol, use it so much.

    I have a dual boot, boot into windows for games and photoshop.

    If you own a license of Windows on that machine you can probably run it as a virtual machine for when you need Photoshop.

    Hmm. I guess I could say I like Ubuntu and Vista equally, but I like them for different purposes and reasons, so it's not really the same. I like dual-booting. :D

    It's nice, I'm installing it later.
    Also, getdeb.net is a great site.
