Well she's let me know that she'd like to use Gimp, but Macromedia MX has the Flash technology, which she needs to use. For animated gifs she uses Ulead's gif animator or Fireworks MX can Gimp do this for her? Vector graphics is Gimp capable of doing this for her? Quanta Plus can do her Xml/Html stuff. Her Email is in Outlook how could she read them in Kmail/Evolution? She's real determined to get off using Windows 2k OS on her laptop asap, so I must get SuSE on there soon or else ;) Btw, I never thought you were or not Pro Windows, they both have there place in computing ...;) On Thu, 2003-01-09 at 15:21, Michael Hieb wrote:
VMWare costs money, but I can tell you from experience it is well worth if you want things to work. Also I can tell you from experience that if you want to work with high-end windows apps, doing so from a linux platform will make the windows experience worse, not better. If this is your objective, better to stay on the windows platform and use a good PC X-server e.g. eXceed which will integrate the linux into windows relativly seemlessly.
Before you conclude I am pro-windows (which I definiely am not), I must ask why you don't consider moving her entirly to linux, use apps like the GIMP., etc... in place of the windows apps she likes. The learning curve is real but they are high quality powerful apps that will acmplish everything she is used to, if in a different way.
Just my thoughts...
