Graphics and photography have been Apple's chasse gardee for years but for quite some time, MS Windows is on par with the Mac and the system of choice for photographers boils down to personal preferences more than anything else. But what about Linux? "My goal with this entry is to brush a big picture of where Linux stands as far as photography is concerned," Joel Cornuz explains, "What are the achievements, where improvements are needed and being worked on, and which pieces are still missing."

Except for games, I don't use paid for software - although I do have a bunch. I stopped using Nero, too bloted, too buggy, even though I bought it for Linux but don't use it there either. I bought an FTP server but since it hasn't got free updates I went with Filezilla after a while with my basic needs, etc... Maybe I bought like 20 apps, but I don't use any of them anymore, except Winrar, which has life time updates. For the home user, there is loads of stuff; sometimes I get a cover mount magazine, e.g. for an older QuarkXpress version, etc...
This hasn't to do with being "cheap" - should I pay hundreds only to pay someone's lunch and for not being called cheap..? There is no added value in most apps. I could call most commercial proggers 'crap' in turn... maybe they offer me something above and beyond free software for not being called that anymore..?
