As far as Adobe Creative Suite applications, there are no plans to port them to Linux at this moment.

What I am saying is, are the focusing more on programmers than the complete spectrum of web design? Thanks Last edited by ToxicWaste; 10-11-2007 at 10:53 PM.. Reason: Forgot to write something

Once you have Wine installed, cd to the directory with the program executable and type wine filename.exe. For example, I use Flash: wine Flash.exe __________________ "When you have nothing to say, say nothing."

What version of Flash do you use? I need Flash CS3 for AS3 support. Can CS3 Run smoothly on Linux?

I must give them a try! If Wine gets better, then we won't need Adobe to support Linux!!! Linux will support it on its own!

YES, you CAN use them under wine. I don't know if one can run the installer as well, but if you have FontForge installed, it should be no problem. My computer which is more than a decade old now took less than 10 minutes to build FontForge from source. __________________ "When you have nothing to say, say nothing."
