I love linux, but it cant do what i like to do and that is play around with graphics software like.. 3dsmax, Fireworks, Flash, Director, Freehand, Illustrator, Photoshop, Pagemaker, etc.. The list keeps going on and on.
The best thing for you to do in my opinion is to just use Windows 9x/2k or MacOS9/X and not waste anytime.. I tried out X for graphics, but it just doesnt cut it.. yet.
Linux is gaining ground in the backend and server platform industry, and has a ways to go even before it becomes a mainstream workstation platform before it becomes a graphics workstation standard like Macs or SGI.
If you want to do it cheaply and without too much hassle, stick with what you had before you started playing around with Linux.
One of the reasons that Gnutella flounders is the Interface. The creators had a novell idea of creating a node-based network for file sharing, but their interface needs some work.
Napster, and then Scour, both simplified their application so any nitwit (even some mac users using macster) could gain access to the resources.
A better interface as well as some way to have the top hosts from gnutellahosts.com automatically be used everytime the application is loaded up is definately a must.
What the developers need to do is try a rapid prototyping model . As much as I hated it while doing that damn internship, it really does work. People need to be surveyed on how the application should work. The only way to come up with a good product which cathes the broadest audience is to get feedback from that audience.
