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.

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.

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.
