Re: Ready to dump Windows, is Mac or Linux better for me?

Many different flavors of Linux provide bootable ISO images that you can burn to a DVD or on a USB memory stick and try them out if you like. I have enough spare disk space on my laptop (DELL Vostro x64 4 GB mem.) that I have a triple boot system with WinXP, Win7 x64 and Linux Mint 14 x64 that I can select to boot into. I'm currently on the Linux desktop.

I'm not all that familiar with PhotoShop, other than the name, so I don't know if Adobe has a Linux port of that application but as already mentioned Linux has many free tools that may meet your needs.

Good luck.
