That's easy: The GIMP. It is very much the equal of Adobe Photoshop, and in some
ways (like scripting) it surpasses it. It's only real draback is that it doesn't
have a CYMK palette (for legal reasons).

This is more difficult. You can try an advanced word processor, like StarOffice
(StarOffice 6.0 is set to hit beta next month). Kword, a simple word processor,
shares much in common with DTP apps.

A real blind spot for GNU/Linux. Good HTML editors abound (like SCREEM, Bluefish
and Quanta+), but there are few WYSIWYG editors. The best at present are
Netscape/Mozilla Composer, Amaya (http://www.w3.org/Amaya/) and IBM Homepage
Builder (http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/hpbuilder/linux/index.html).
Of these, IBM Homepage Builder has by far the most features, but it costs money
and it is a port from Windows (using Winelib). A 60-day trial version is
available for download.

Once again, StarOffice can also be used as an HTML editor. From my experience,
it has better HTML support than MS Word.
