Hi there All 
 
I am in the process of thinking about the Linux option, presently I run a
Asus M6 Laptop - (720RAM - 60G hd)with 40G off to the side. And am loking at
linux as an alterantive to XP (theres a big surprise).

I currently run a business doing outdoor safety management and training and
as part of that I supply graphics and DTP type work for operating systemsa
and training but I cannot find much information on problems with running the
following programmes with a linux OS installed.

CorelDraw 13
Corel Designer 10	
Corelphotopaint
Quark Express
TUMONZ
3DSmax
AutoCAD
MYOB
Adobe Indesign

I currently am using MS office pro but are playing with OO writer etc and
are well impressed. If anyone out there has any comments on Linux working in
a graphic and DTP production world and have 5 mins let me know.
