Applications for musicians
I would like to see more applications for musicians on Linux. I simply can't imagine writing music by programming in Lisp... and the graphical music software I've seen on Linux is a far cry from what I'm used to.
WINAMP... I don't care how good any of the players on linux are I don't like any of them half as much as Winamp. Supposedly Nullsoft are working on it but they don't wanna create too much hype cause AOL might say no.
Adobe Photoshop has frequently been mentioned. Fortunately, Adobe Photoshop 7.0 can be made to run under Linux. Codeweavers make CrossOver Office which can be used to run Adobe Photoshop 7.0 under Linux. I use their product to run Adobe Photoshop 7.0, MS Word 97, MS Excel 97, and MS Powerpoint 97 under Linux. The very latest versions of those products are not currently supported. Here is where they talk about using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 under Linux:
On the Codeweavers webpage it says "CrossOver will run 95% of all Windows applications by the end of 2005." That claim is about half-way down the webpage below:
The above two pieces of software and the fact that I cant begin to see how to configure my Belking Wireless PCI card are the only thing stopping me moving to linux permantly
For I all of software I need are included in linux.
But I wait the next version of linux for a better support of all hardware.
Thus quickly the next version of the kernel !
