StevoJD Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 CS2 runs fine under Wine, at good speed too. If you're going to be using Adobe products extensively, then I don't recommend you use Ubuntu. If you still want to give it a try though, you can use Wubi, or dual boot, either option is fairly easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Blade Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 ubuntu is good..if you haven't bought a windows os yet... maybe dual boot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G. Veteran Posted May 25, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 25, 2008 If you're curious about Ubuntu then I would recommend dual booting, or using it in VMware, for example. That way, it's easy to get rid of if you don't like it (especially with VMware), and your Windows installation is not affected at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted May 25, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted May 25, 2008 If you just want to try Linux , consider PClinuxOS LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted May 25, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 25, 2008 If you rely on Adobe media products for your profession, you aren't going to want to have to deal with a virtual XP install inside Linux just to run them. I would recommend that you just keep using Windows in your case, unless you are curious on how will wine or virtualPC solutions might or might not work for you. More just an experiment rather than a serious migration to Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
