..::Linux Noob::..

hahahari · 19-01-2008, 07:21 PM

Guys I am a windows user and havent much experience with linux, but I am connected to internet for long hours [almost 24x7] and hence need a OS which handles internet pretty nicely. I usually run Azureus and Download manager of some kind.

I also work with Dreamweaver, Photoshop and some WEB related softwares.

Which Distro should I go for...considering my linux noobiness and the requirements?

Regards Hari

Nvu is nothing compared to Dreamweaver(n i'm talking Dreamweaver 8 not CS3).

Bluefish is the better of the three.

baccilus · 19-01-2008, 11:19 PM

I recommend LinuxMint.

NucleusKore · 19-01-2008, 11:42 PM

Better stick to windows if you really want to use only Photoshop and Dreamweaver

You mean DRM'ed files? If not then I don't think there's any other multimedia format that won't play on linux.
