Thanks for the comments guys. Evny is an awesome tool, but if you are running an NVIDIA card there are other tools and NVIDIA, provided you installed the kernel source the driver from NVIDIA is very simple to install.

You make some good points.

Anyways Linux has no need to satisfy VCs by marketing products or providing a “liquidity event” to satisy their investment. Linux will never go out of business. Linux is my preferred server OS.

Windows might not be on top forever, but I do think it will take a long time to displace.

hmmm… for the graphics drivers and linux!
installing these drivers and getting them to work is sometimes a little tricky. there’s a cool guy that wrote an installer for quite a few linuxes. the application is called envy and u can install the proprietary drivers from ati and nvidia.

get it at http://www.albertomilone.com!

have fun wid linux, guys;-)

Thanks for the input Dan, I’ll give it a shot but its possible it could be my wine installation. I ran an older version of Photoshop I believe 7.0.

With the exception of Bridge and perhaps ImageReady,
Photoshop up to and including CS2 should not
crash, or even misbehave at all, with current wine.
If you have problems, please report them to

or if you prefer, just send me an email; dank@kegel.com.
