Replace Fireworks MX with something on linux

[The2]

I've started using Xubuntu and I really love it! (everything is perfect except Skype is ugly as hell!)

But I'm missing a replacement for Macromedia Firefoworks MX! I saw GIMP but that's way too complicated!

From a check at winehq, and codeweavers, it doesn't look good for running this in Linux.

Fortunately, it isn't too hardware-dependent (requiring direct access to 3D hardware like a game does, for example), and should work well in a virtual environment, like Win4Lin, or VMware.

Not the best option, but if you gotta have Fireworks, this may be the only way to do it without any issues at all.

Hm.. I was thinking about an alternative on linux

Well it depends what you use Fireworks for... if you're more in the vector side, try inkscape, I moved and haven't looked back (Y)

but GIMP is the only real alternative for raster work that runs native.

I'm not a graphics person, but there's Xara Xtreme for linux.
