No Acrobat There may not be the beautiful Adobe GUIs, but GhostScript provides ps2pdf and just about everything in Linux generates PostScript. If you're looking for typesettings stuff, look into TeX. 2. The Photoshop replacement is called the GIMP. If he doesn't know that already, he's still a Linux newbie who shouldn't be writing these types of articles. If that's not powerful enough, buy a copy of Corel Photo-Paint. I think that's on Linux already. 3. Anyone who is using 16-bit Window applications to do data warehousing seriously needs to find an escape route from the hole they've dug themselves into. Go get DB2 from IBM and do it right. There is a reason RMS is on a crusade and this is exactly it. Where he does have a point is Quark Xpress. I don't know of any applications on Linux that compare to this product. Framemaker had a chance, but they decided to pull out. Nate
