Ok, here's my question...if I were to install linux, what programs don't work with it? or do all programs supported by windows work with linux? like i said i'm a noob :P thanks

Unless you install WINE, which is a linux program which allows you to use (certain) windows programs which are installed on a separate window partition, no windows programs are going to work for you; there is, however a replacement program for almost every windows program imaginable, which this website should outline for you ok: http://linuxshop.ru/linuxbegin/win-lin-soft-en/table.shtml
But no, dont even bother trying to install your microsoft programs on that linux partition of yours, because nothing worthwhile is going to happen, ever :)

I think the latest version of photoshop doesnt work...in answer to your original question. As far as d2lod..in short, yes. But you'll probably have to use winex which is a paid subscription, i think its like 5 bux a month. BUT you can just sign up, then cancel it, for a total cost of 15 dollars, i believe.

So in short, yup it works.

Actually, if you're talking about Photoshop 7, you can get it to work by following this tutorial (http://lindows.prodigydigital.com/tutorials/photoshop7.html). Don't worry about the fact that the tutorial says Lindows on it, it will still work in other distros.
