Lexor: My main issue with Linux is that I can't use it on my main PC as I use it also for work and I need Adobe CS. I was not able to find out if there are some proven solutions that could help me to run Adobe software on Linux so I would be glad to hear from someone more experienced on this field.
Wine, or one of the nice graphical interfaces to it, say PlayOnLinux or Crossover (the former is free and open-source while the latter is subscription-based but comes from the main developer of Wine, and as such paying for Crossover helps fund development of Wine proper), should be able to run the Adobe applications.
While I have a copy of Creative Suite 5 Web Edition, I really haven't bothered installing it since I moved away from Windows, so I cannot confirm anything at the moment. I should be able to try it some time during the week, but cannot promise a quick response.
EDIT: Also, my first foray into Linux was a dual-boot system, which is still very much a valid solution, and there are also a host of virtual machine solutions - VirtualBox, VMWare's various solutions, QEmu (by itself just about anywhere or with other solutions such as KVM on Linux) if you want to run the OS's side-by-side. Granted, they may or may not offer high-performance accelerated graphics.
