There's already a version of Linux (Yellow Dog) that runs on G5 Macs. Making it the fastest Linux going in a desktop personal computer. But the problem is a complete lack of professional graphics apps. GIMP is not capable of replacing Photoshop, and won't be for some time, if ever. How do you replace Quark or InDesign? Illustrator? It just can't be done. You don't! You call on Adobe, and ask them for Linux versions of their products. Then you call Adobe and ask them again. You have your friends do the same.... Maybe eventually we get lucky and Adobe gives us Linux products. They may already be working on it. Quark is another story. Quark is a strange company. They almost didn't do an OS X version, which could have been a good thing for Adobe. ============================================================================ Ken Firestone, W3CAT | For every problem there is one solution kenf@speakeasy.net | which is simple, neat, and wrong. ken@firestone.net | -- H.
