A few years ago Novell conducted an online public survey to determine which MS-Windows apps need to be ported on Linux desktop. Adobe Photoshop and other graphics application that user want ported to Linux. However, Linux comes with the sheer numbers of open source software projects produced by the community. You may overwhelmed by the choices available under Linux and not know where to begin.
This blog post covers Vector-based editors, Raster-based editors, Photo editing, Specialty, Desktop publishing (DTP), Web design, 3D modeling, Animation Typography and other softwares:
Even when looking at just a subset -- such as graphics applications -- if you are not already familiar with the options, the volume can make it hard to track down the application that fits your needs. The major categories tend to break down the same way, however -- just a few major players; the large projects often catering to slightly different design goals, and a second set of smaller projects each of which has a smaller team and a more narrow focus.
Let's examine each design field in turn. We'll start by describing the leading program or programs in each, followed by the smaller or younger projects, and end with the special-purpose tools.

Please check and correct your grammar and sentence structure.
Ken,
Please check yo’self before you wreck yo’self.
maybe my grammar is pretty bad
so I didn’t notice what’s wrong with the article :P
i like linux but, i hate gimp… so i just run windows7 in a virtual box just so i can have my cs5!. Best of both worlds!
i like both. i used both. blender and 3dsmax, adobe PS and gimp (i use windows 7 and and im also into backtrack linux.) i dont think one is better than another they just have things to count. gimp is good for old computers, to make simple things or just like a hobby. abode is powerfull, for really profesional use. like premiere, abode ligthroom etc.
for 3d, im a big fan of blender, so far its the best 3d program i ever saw.
My favorite one is mspaint + wine …
;)
Cheers!
I just get used to use mspaint and visio, word, powerpoint
even thou I use linux
for the related tasks
I still use those software on virtual XP for convenience
void main()
{
int i;
printf(“input number:”);
scanf(“%d”,&i);
clrscr();
if(i%2==0)
{
printf(“number is even”);
}
else
{
printf(“number is odd”);
}
getch();
}
why don’t you use playonlinux for run cs5 instead of win7 in VB(virtualbox). lets try it.
CentOS5.5, Command-line interface What command performs the same functions as the c~ command.
