Switching to linux workstation??
I've set up a couple of simple linux servers but haven't switched over to using a linux workstation because I need a good sound editor (I produce news for a local radio station) and I do desktop publishing and need a suitable substitute for pagemaker. Does anyone know of good linux page layout and sound editing software?? Phil

For the page layout..... Pagestream or Scribus -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

OpenOffice is similar to MS Office, though I don't know how well it will meet your needs. Also, there's an article in the May 2004 issue of The Linux Journal, about a Linux recording studio. That article may have something useful for you.
But if you intend to use some video editing software, forget Linux! a. James Knott escreveu:

For publishing you can try Scribus... but I think it is still far behind Pagemaker, Indesign or Quark... Daniel Adagilson Batista Bispo da Silva wrote:

Well, not quite, but almost! PhotoShop WOULD be a GREAT assest for Linux!! You can do a great deal in Gimp, however, there's NO utility in Gimp to closely match what is seen on screen with what one gets on paper. It's VERY difficult for pros. to consider Linux over 'Bloze. For this type of work, a MAC is the BEST choice. Fred -- "The only secure Microsoft software is what's still shrink-wrapped in their warehouse..." (Forno)

I thought he was talking about VIDEO editor, not PHOTO editor...
I guess you missed those articles about how Linux is used to make many movies. As I recall, some of the scence in Titanic were generated with Linux. There are other movies as well, including one animated feature, that was created entirely with Linux. Do a Google search on "Linux video editing". Adagilson Batista Bispo da Silva wrote:

That is not the graphics software he was refering to, nor was I. The point is, that without PhotoShop, Linux is "ham-strung" in the Pro. photography industry......period. Fred -- "The only secure Microsoft software is what's still shrink-wrapped in their warehouse..." (Forno)

I thought PhotoShop ran under Crossover Office....... No?

To be honest, I don't know.....I don't have Crossover Office. What we need is NATIVE PhotoShop. I know, the group who works on Gimp has done an admirable job, but there's too much that isn't supported, or well. The WORST is that there's no way to color match your monitor to your printer. This isn't that big a deal for most users who only want to print an occasional snapshot, but it is when you're doing high-end work, the prints are often large and MUST be perfect.

Well, CXOffice solves this. I'm on most of the Codeweavers mailing lists and people say PS works just fine. And if people were so damn in need of Photoshop and willing to pay for it then they better be emailing the CEO of Adobe with their CC numbers ready to purchase it because he's STILL under the impression that Linux users WILL NOT pay for software so until he thinks otherwise ..this isn't a Linux issue. It's a PHB asshole problem. ;) -- "There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend religious faith."

Just my 2 cents, but I think you may find it's a Mac problem. If the industry-standard graphics programs were ported to Linux, the Mac's stronghold in the graphics industry would vanish pdq. I should imagine the CEO of Adobe has an excruciating pressure named Steve Jobs placed upon him. For all that, though, it isn't just the flagship programs but a vast array of supporting software that enables workflows, collaboration, etc., as well as font libraries and colour calibration. Porting just Photoshop to Linux isn't really an answer, though it would help. :) Fish

Well, I don't fit into that catagory, but you already know that. I've contacted them more than once, and made it clear that I and a LOT of others WOULD buy it, IF it were available! Fred -- "The only secure Microsoft software is what's still shrink-wrapped in their warehouse..." (Forno)
