[poldopunk]

there's a linux version of yahoo messenger. its not as easy as the windows version counterpart in terms on installation. feature-wise, mas less sad diya...pidgin gani akong gamit kay all-in-one na.

btw, I'm on OpenSUSE 11

yep, the interface is polished and very well made but if you're looking for stability and speed, go for ubuntu.

Ubuntu user here.

Yahoo Messenger-don't bother downloading/installing the Linux version of YM. It's ages old and not updated. There are substitutes though: Kopete, Gyachi, Gizmo5, etc.

Windows Games-go to Wine HQ to see if your favorite game will run in Linux using Wine. I ran Call of Duty 2 and Counterstrike Source without any problem.

Photoshop- again use Wine. I have Photoshop7 and PhotoshopCS2 trial version(di kaafford sa license) running flawlessly.

Good luck and welcome to the Linux world. I hope you'll stay.

Go for Pidgin. Its almost the same as Yahoo Messenger.

Running Photoshop CS3 on Linux? Why not?! Just download and install Wine (as mentioned above).

Photoshop? I suggest use GIMP... (Gnome Imageblablahblah.. i forgot)

[catch]

GIMP = GNU Image Manipulation Program

Its just an alternative to Adobe Photoshop. That is, if you want a program that runs natively on Linux rather than going through an emulator.
