GIMP is somewhat oeverrated ( specially as compared to tools available on Win and Mac platforms) but, well, there is really nothing else available on Linux that could even approach power of Photoshop and having GIMP around is probably a saving grace for people who completely abadoned Windows.
I am amazed that Amiga is still around. This thing was designed in what , 1984-85 ??? What's more if you look at A 1000 and A 4000 there is not that much difference between those two ( well, there is but not as much as say, between first PC clones and latest pentium.)
That's what I think. Sort of like QT ( old license.) One pays for software , gets source code that he can use to enhance or adapt soft to his particular needs , but does not have a right to redistribute any part of it. This keeps businesses happy and still alows people to fix, enhance code withour waiting for vendor to get around with the patch.
This is excatly what bothers me about this whole GPL problem. Where one draws a line ?? What is so special about software that does not apply to say, movies ???
This is almost funny. I can't get to the original story right now but it looks like another case of,well... plain stupidity. Not much more can said about that.

NT works, not as well as Linux in certain situations but works, get over it.

Yeah, I have seen A600 multitask. I owned one. ...

Obviously you don't know much about KDE. I use IceWM + KDE apps all the time - check your facts before posting crap.
