AMO design, but I'm moving soon with my sister and i can 't take my old desktop computer I had when I lived with my mom, so I decided to invest in the linux laptop to the Asus Eee PC 8G (just asked him online). I was wondering what programs are compatible with this laptop? Incidentally, I use Photoshop CS3 Extended now. Also if you have some other tips for me on this laptop please let the!.

    If you know what IRC is you can grab a client connect to the server irc.freenode.net and /join #wine they can help you set up your system to use Photoshop CS3 Extended if you still want to use that. If not GIMP is a good alternative, if harder to use. If you need additional help with Linux please just email me at

    It already has Open Office for general word, draw and calc and you probably have to use The Gimp instead of Photoshop.

    Photoshop is never going to run on that tiny little thing, Wine or not.

    It runs Xandros Linux. There are tons of programs available for Linux, but you won’t be able to use a lot of the programs you use with Windows. Don’t worry, there is tons of alternatives that are, in many cases, better

    Check this out:

    Look up your favorite Windows programs, and check out the Linux alternatives.

    Also, there is a program called Wine, which allows you to run many Windows programs on Linux. I don’t think Photoshop CS3 runs yet, but I know Photoshop CS2 runs quite well. Photoshop might take up all the hard drive space on that thing. Check out GIMP for a photoshop alternative, it’ll most likely be preinstalled on your laptop

    you have chosen a computer that is slow memory wise. It is brilliant for what it was designed for but . . . .
    Look at ubuntu studio and consider installing that. Either way Xandros is not the best OS for the eeePC so try Xubuntu or Mandriva would be my first choice
