Lisa uses ubuntu for some of her work and dual boots into windows xp
mainly for adobe/macromedia photoshop, flash, premiere, after effects,
director and sound forge. There is a bit she does on a mac as well.
Often there is something that needs a visual tweak but she is back in
linux. GIMP she finds hard as she knows photoshop and does not want to
learn a second way of doing things. Gutsy upgraded GIMP from 2.2 to 2.4
which introduced some changes that were not liked so we tried GIMPshop
but it didn't do what she wanted.
Wine has succeeded in installing and running but have not yet
extensively tested photoshop CS. Director, and sonic forge installed and
appear to work. Flash 5 installed but doesn't run. Premier installed but
looks dodgy on a brief look. Flash MX and after effects failed to install.
If these programmes could be run in wine or virtualisation then the need
to switch back and forward between Operating systems in the middle of
work flow would be removed.
My question is what of the half dozen available virtualisation system is
going to be best for this collection of programmes? Does anyone have any
experience?
cheers
Ken
