My name is Kevin and I'm a professional photog and I use Linux. I shoot slides and digital and every now and then I shoot prints. I also found it difficult to do my workflow in Linux. I scan my slides with a Nikon Coolscan III and had all kinds of problems getting it to work correctly with Gimp. Having moved to Grand Cayman in March and now back to Atlanta since Hurricane Ivan crushed the island in September, most of my computers are somewhere on a boat coming back to the US. In the meantime I bought a PowerMac Dual 2.0 Ghz G5. I think I may start doing most of my workflow on this box. It's fast and well suited for digital photography. So far I haven't found a good package for managing my plethora of photos yet. iPhoto isn't even close. I manage over 15,000 shots. I used ThumbsPlus on the WinTel platform and am trying out iView MediaPro on the Mac. I haven't decided yet if it's going to work.
I just converted to a windowless house. The only computers I touch that runs windows anymore is my work laptop and my Cisco Callmanager. Soon enough the callmanager will be on another platform. The work laptop will just have to stay for now. The other 6 computers in my house all run Linux... or should I say SCO free Linux.
