| So, it seems as if the only applications 
| people miss when using Linux are games and 
| Adobe CS. This will hopefully be less of a 
| problem in the future with Steam coming to 
| Linux. As for the Adobe Suite, I do not see 
| Adobe taking an interest in Linux any time 
| soon, but PlayOnLinux supports some of the 
| Adobe applications. Otherwise, people are 
| forced to look for alternatives to CS. Quite 
| often, people choose Adobe Creative Suite for 
| the layout of the applications, not for their 
| functionality. GimpShop can replace Photoshop, 
| but anything else would require a bit of a 
| learning curve.

QOTD: Should Sony be Sued for Removing Linux?

,----[ Quote ]
| Over the last few weeks, there's been a lot of 
| discussion surrounding Sony's decision to 
| remove Linux support from the PS3. Those 
| inclined to sue over the removal of Other OS 
| support say they purchased their PS3 because 
| they could install Linux on it.

It's Official: Valve Releasing Steam, Source Engine For Linux!

,----[ Quote ]
| Valve Corporation has today rolled out
| their Steam Mac OS X client to the general
| public and confirmed something we have
| been reporting for two years: the Steam
| content delivery platform and Source
| Engine are coming to Linux. This news is
| coming days after we discovered proof in
| Steam's Mac OS X Client of Linux support
| and subsequently found more Linux
| references and even the unreleased Steam
| Linux client. The day has finally come and
| Linux gamers around the world have a
| reason to rejoice, as this is the biggest
| news for the Linux gaming community that
| sees very few tier-one titles.
