I'm with a small specialty software, pre-press, and video/DVD publisher. Will Adobe CS3 run on Linux or Ubuntu? Can you imbed video in the Open Office presentation program. Are there any visual software authoring programs for Linux - similar to Visual Studio for windows. I currently use Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 for Windows for DVD authoring because it's a bit easier to knock stuff out with than the Mac version. I'm ready to jump when they get that stuff for Linux.

i ran ubuntu for a couple weeks and i really liked it, but i rely dont want to get rid of some programs that i enjoy playing around with, first off i have a zune and i pretty much have to have zune software to use it, then theres solidworks, which i dont currently have but im workin on it, and i tried to use vmware do boot windows but couldnt get it to work, if someone could make it so i could boot linux and have one of my workspaces be a windows desktop i would run that in a heart beat

Windows, windows, windows and then DSL on the old Thinkpad because its too old to run Linux Mint.

Next desktop I get I'm building and it won't be Windows...

Oh you mean like VMWARE?

Here at work I've got a windows partition and a ubuntu partition. My VMWARE accesses my windows partition directly from my linux session and I have my full desktop/programs, etc. and at any time I can boot into windows as well to take advantage of hardware acceleration for games.

For Desktop OS's I've pretty much moved away from the Windows Consumer market (with the exception of my Home/HTPC Machines which are both Vista Ultimate X64.

For work I run Server 2008 X64 Datacenter, and my laptop also runs Server 2008.

The Server versions are so much nicer and don't have any of the damn fluff/pointless bloated shit that the consumer versions come with.

uhh why are you running 7.04?

haha, i need to update, sorry... been working on my car lately to prep for auto-x this April 12th and i haven't working on my computer in ages. I run UBUNTU on my local and i got a dell power edge virtual private server running industry standard stable LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) install with WHM (web host manager) and cPanel; i love it with a passion 'cuz it's free and i can make money by hosting sites for like $5 per month, hehe... anyone need a web host? i'll hook it up, haha

i wanna try UBUNTU 8.04

you can run UBUNTU and run windows and mac os at the same time over UBUNTU in order to run Windows-based applications or mac os-based applications, but there are many alternatives to these OS-based applications into UBUNTU or Linux and it's usually open-source. VMware is one good example of an application that can be installed on a local computer in order to run other OS. You can also run VMware on windows or mac in order to run UBUNTU or other OS.

I run Linux Mint XFCE here. Its just a derivative of Ubuntu but much better equipped.

w00t!

have you tried GIMP?

if yes, and you don't like it, then i think CS3 can be installed in ubuntu now, check it out, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=447287 ... i do know that google invested on adobe to bridge the compatibility of CS3 into Linux

if you still have problems, run virtualbox.org which is like vmware and then run windows OS to serve Adobe CS3 applications; less memory intensive.

http://virtualbox.org ; try that one instead of vmware. when you installed ubuntu, did you completely uninstall your windows os in both master and slave(s) drive(s)..?

so r3vlimited.com is hosted on your servers, Optic Fusion, or GoDaddy's MS II's? also, what are you running on your server 2008? is it just for an exchange server or do you also host sites on it? i haven't attempted to look into server 2008 'cuz i already run CentOS 4.5 or Debian as the main OS and Apache for the web server, Exim for the email server, etc.. and so I'd like to learn more about it, so i'm gonna do a little bit more research here and there, but from your experience or to the best of your knowledge, how is server 2008 compared to centos from what you know, sir? willl it be too memory intensive to serve sites in server 2008?

Hyper-v? that sounds like Virtuozzo in Linux, nah? interesting...

Plus all those handy admin tools :)

Coming from a Mail/Server/Network Admin, trying to install the Exchange Server 2003 tools on Vista x64 pretty much killed it for me.

Ubuntu 7.10, VMWare Workstation with an XP VM does me just fine.

I did just buy VMWare Infrastructure for the company, we'll see how many VM's I can load up on ESX.... 8-)
