    I seem to have a problem with the chatroom. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 x64 and I've read somewhere that there is trouble with Java on 64bit linux. Is that so?

    Linux Only since 2000, before that, I used windows for a short while after finally retiring my Amiga 1200. The first distro I played with was slackware 2.x. I stuck with slackware till around 7.x, where I made the move to Gentoo, which I still use today.

    OS X and BSD are not the same?

    Hi, I have used both Slackware and Debian, but in the last 6 or 7 years I have been using a combination of OpenBSD and OS X.

    Argentic, have you tried LIGHTZONE?
    I liked it quite a lor.
    I'm pleased with GIMP+UFRAW for what I do (mostly scanning in flat bed)

    I think the Gimp is as close to photoshop as you are going to get in Linux although I have been successful running photoshop under crossover office and wine. These days though i run dual boots on everything that way if I need an app I at least have it on one OS or another.

    I have been experimenting with The Gimp, Digikam, Bibble Pro, Rawtherapee and Pixel for some time. Under Linux ofcourse. Every program has its own advantages, but I haven't found the ideal replacemnt for Lightroom + Photoshop yet. Any experiences from you guys?

    I wait to try out Ubuntu 8.10.
    If I am displeased with it, I will try some other distro such as SUSE and Mandrake.
    At the same time I am paying close attention to KDE but until it gets up to 4.2 or 4.3 I won't bother with it.

    PS. Never mind, found the ubuntu Live DVD option

    Hi all. I first ran Slackware 1.2.13 a looong time ago, loved it. Eventually I migrated to FreeBSD (sorry) but have liked Ubuntu as it is very user-friendly. Also have ran LinuxPPC on an powermac 8100av (painful but it made a great mp3 server that was hooked up to my stereo)
    and had a neat little sun sparcstation ipc that once ran SunOS 4.1 but later threw NetBSD on it. Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi.
