Fie on Photoshop: Image Editing in Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| It has been said (so many times that I'm ready to start twapping people) that
| the most important missing killer app for Linux is a free Adobe Photoshop
| clone. Photoshop is a mature graphics editor with hundreds of features and
| plugins, the de-facto industry standard, and it retails for over $600. So a
| free-beer Linux clone would be a lovely thing indeed. But is all that
| Photoshop glory really necessary? In this series we'll answer that question,
| and then move on to bringing high-quality digital images to life in Linux
| itself, without having to use icky old Windows, or spending a pot of money.

| Having tried to install it before, I knew the typical route

GIMPshop - Linux Graphic Software

| While the functionalities of GIMP and Photoshop largely overlap,
| window layout, options, tools, and menus have evolved independently
| and are quite different. This causes frustration for people who
| want to switch from Photoshop to GIMP or vice versa.

| Subject: Internet as a business tool
|
| I know I am a broken record on this but I think our plans continue to
| underestimate the importance of an OPEN unified approach for the internet.
|
| The demo I saw today when Windows 95 was showing its Internet capability
| was someone calling up the Fedex page on the internet and typing in a
| package number and getting the status.
|
| Imagine how much work it would have been for Fedex to call us up and get
| that running on MSN and negociate with us. Instead they just set it up.
| A very simple way to reach out to their customers.
|
| The continued enhancement of the browser standards is amazing to me. Now
| its security and 3d and tables - what will it within the next several
| years? Intelligent controls, directory - everything we are trying to
| define as standards.
|
| ..
|
| The analogy here is that the major sin that Microsoft made with Netware
| was to let Novell offer a better (actually smaller & faster, with
| simpler protocol) client for networking. This got to critical mass and
| can now evolve both client and server together. Hence we had and still
| have a really hard time displacing Novell at the server.
|
| In fact I am still of the opinion that we will not really deliver a
| really telling blow against Netware until we make some significant
| user-visible, client-side feature that Novell would have trouble
| matching in their servers. One of the reasons why I remain such a
| fanatic OFS believer.
