Try running games, or even photoshop for that matter (I guess you'll settle with GIMP)! Linux is good for anythign but games. Don't become a linuxnerd who bash windows at every chance they get. We all know about linux, but we've chosen to leave the os because it has some major problems which you'll be aware of soon, other than a lack of programs.

What is it you are wanting to do? The only thing that held me back earlier during the semester was a school issue with having to use Adobe products for graphics. After some time with them? Inkscape and Gimp are more intuitive, just as powerful and more versitle than CS 6....altho I can't find something to match After Effects yet. I've got 2 different packages under Linux to function in place of Office in case I find something one doesn't do for the coming semester... Games? I haven't gotten there yet. Although running game servers off a linux system is a whole lot
Leasier all the way around.
No, Because the graphics car developers don't have deals with linux like they do with microsoft. Until Linux learns to work together with makers of non-open systems they will fail.

I wouldn't be so sure about that ...
Steam is supposed to enter open beta phase on linux this week. Maybe with only a few games at the beginning.
But stuff like TF2 Team Fortress 2 which is free and very popular.
You will soon find out that linux performs indeed well in games, if given enough care.

I haven't forgotten... I was just looking around the room tonight and thinking about how I want to clean things up to show off the set up to max effect. I might as well get a few brags out of the first impression right? lol.... Sometime this week... it'll have to be, because some of the equipment I have here now won't be this way for the school semester. I'll make sure you get a U2U when I post it so you don't miss a peek in the rabbit hole.
