A Printshop Equivalent for Unix?

mcorliss asks: "I'm trying to convince my wife to switch from Windows to Linux. However, one program she loves is Broderbund's PrintShop, which I haven't found a Linux equivalent of yet. Does anyone know of such a product, preferably one that's free and fairly easy to use?" For banner creation, there's Gozer and AAType, but they aren't the easiest of things to use. Unless you consider The GIMP, software for designing greeting cards (another PrintShop specialty) seems to not have appeared for Unix. So is there an all-around equivalent for PrintShop for Unix users? If not, can you get close to that same functionality using a specific set of Open Source software? If it turns out neither of the first two questions produce encouraging answers, would anyone be interested in starting an Open Source project to fill this niche?

Isn't Trident 'deprecated' (aka- unsupported) in the modern XFree86? The S3 Trio64 certainly is.

It's kinda one of those Microsoftian things, obsoleting hardware for convenience....

Actually its Linus that Sucks as a developer, he handed him a big mess...its no surprise that Linus wanted out of 2.4 and on to 2.5 since beta was the only place he was gonna stableize the mess...
