A while ago one guy from pantone or colorvision made an aproache to calibrate the monitor with some tools like colorvision spider. Unfortunatly this guy I can/t reach via email. Usually it should be possible to make a calibration and create an ICC profile of the used hardware Graphic board and monitor and If Linux or Xwindows is able to use this profile it should be perfect for a suitable colormatching. Software for working with digital photos is available for Linux and works well in openSuSE. What I am missing is just a little. That I can use the same equipement for calibration of the monitor. This tool called spider I can use on a Mac and on a Windows systrem but its a pitty, not in Linux. And when we reach the point that we can get this option in Linux it would be perfect.
And for the guy who doen't understand what is colormatching, I suggest you take two machines, install Suse 10.0 and compare this phantastic wallpaper of the cameleon on the screens you will recognize they will look different. Just my five cent. And I didin't talk about printing yet.
