OS - Debian ;) (what else would I say? Perhaps Corel?)
GUI - Gnome
N/Neighbourhood - Gnomba
Photoshop - If the GIMP's no good, that only leaves Photoshop
(WINE/win4lin)
Office - StarOffice - I actually use this to open Office documents that
can't be opened in Office :/
There's tonnes more. If you'd like a longer dialogue, drop me a line.
These are all things I use as an office destop in a mixed network.
