Re: Hate Linux?? (was Re: [Nolug] Woo hoo!!! On-line with wireless!!!)

I don't like Gimp, so I use Photoshop CS2 via Crossover Office.
I have not yet used the newer graphics programs for Linux..... There are
surprisingly many....
I've only checked them out and pretty much any of them look more usable
than gimp (Even with Photoshop "look-a-like").

One of the potential favorites is "pixel".... Though it is not free
($50), but neither is Photoshop.
